Anderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run homer and a second run scored in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

His first-inning shot off Kyle McGowin kickstarted a 10-run outburst for the Miami offense -- unfortunately, the pitching staff coughed up 12. Anderson's now homered three times in the last four games after going more than a month without leaving the yard, but on the season the 26-year-old is still slashing just .235/.319/.363.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins.

The third baseman was at the heart of the Nats' 12-run explosion on the night, swatting his 10th homer of the season off Pablo Lopez in the fourth inning. Rendon's now slashing a stellar .327/.431/.691 over the last 15 games, and he has four long balls, 11 RBI and 15 runs during that span.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 11-4 win over the Twins.

Moncada has slipped below .300 after a hot start to the season but is still hitting with regularity. He's had a hit in 36 of his 49 starts and has never gone more than two games without getting on base via hit. That consistency has led to 32 RBI, second on the White Sox behind only Jose Abreu.

Escobar went 2-for-6 with a three-run homer and another run scored in Friday's 18-2 rout over the Giants.

Escobar launched his 12th home run of the year with a shot off reliever Nick Vincent as the Diamondbacks scored 18 runs to set a new record at Oracle Park. The 30-year-old veteran continues to produce solid numbers for Arizona, slashing .281/.344/.556 with 37 RBI and 31 runs scored.

Vargas went 5-for-6 with a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 18-2 victory over the Giants.

Vargas homered to deep left center off Drew Pomeranz in the first inning for his second long ball of the season. Overall, the Diamondbacks scored 18 runs to set a new record at Oracle Park. The 27-year-old played a big part in Arizona's success and has been a solid addition after getting recalled from Triple-A Reno to fill in for Wilmer Flores while he recovers from a foot contusion. In 28 games with Arizona, Vargas is batting .246/.246/.385 with 10 runs scored, six RBI, and a stolen base.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 8-6 win over the Orioles.

Arenado opened the scoring in the first inning, and then provided the tying run in the seventh inning with his second blast. The third baseman has 13 homers, 37 RBI and 37 runs scored in 49 games, while the three-hit night raised his average to .325 for the year.

Suarez went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 6-5 victory against the Cubs on Friday.

Trailing by a run in the ninth inning, Joey Votto led off with a walk, and then Suarez went deep to give the Reds their first lead of the game. This was his eighth multi-hit game and seventh homer of the month, but he also broke a 1-for-14 skid Friday. Suarez is hitting .258 with 14 home runs, 33 RBI, 28 runs and one steal in 182 at-bats this season.

Devers will sit Friday against the Astros.

Devers sits for the first time in over a month and just the third time all season. He's certainly earned that everyday role, as he's hit .317/.384/.481 through 50 games. Eduardo Nunez starts in his place at third base.

Riley went 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBI in an extra-innings win against the Giants on Thursday.

Riley smoked a two-run shot to center field off reliever Tony Watson in the eighth inning to tie the game at 4-4. Five innings later, he drove home the winning run with an RBI single. The talented freshman has gotten off to a blazing hot start in the majors, setting a Braves rookie record by hitting his fifth home run in only his ninth game. He also boasts an incredible .389/.421/.833 slash line with 12 runs batted in.

Moncada went 1-for-5 with an RBI double and run scored in Thursday's win over the Astros.

Moncada drove in an RBI double and scored another run to help lift the White Sox to a 4-0 victory. Despite slowing down a bit as of late, the 23-year-old continues to deliver when it counts. His line improves to .279/.337/.500 with 11 doubles, 31 RBI and nine home runs.
