Orioles' Jackson Holliday: On base five times Saturday
Holliday went 3-for-4 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Twins.
Holliday got a rare look in the leadoff spot with Gunnar Henderson resting Saturday. It ended up leading to one of Holliday's best games of the year, as he got aboard a season-high five times. The infielder has been lacking in power with just five extra-base hits over his last 39 games. Overall, he has a .185/.248/.307 slash line with five home runs, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored, four stolen bases, four doubles and two triples over 59 contests in 2024.

Vaughn Grissom 2B | LAA
Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Three-hit night in loss
Grissom went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
Grissom, who started for the fourth time in the last five games, is 7-for-18 (.389) with a double, two RBI and two steals since being called up last week. It was a rough year for the 23-year-old, whose spring training groin/hamstring injury lingered for months. A positive finish to the season, including a productive stint at Triple-A Worcester, should put him in line to be Boston's starter at second base in 2025.
