Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Hits long ball Saturday
O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.
O'Hoppe tagged Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow for a solo shot in the seventh inning. The long ball pushed the backstop up to 10 homers through 246 plate appearances on the season after he went deep 14 times across 199 plate appearances as a rookie last year.

Bo Naylor C | CLE
Guardians' Bo Naylor: Slugs homer in win
Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Naylor snapped a 25-game homer drought dating back to May 4. The catcher has struggled at the plate for much of the campaign, but he's gone a respectable 6-for-23 (.261) over his last seven contests. With the Guardians carrying three catchers, Naylor's margin for error at the plate is thin -- he doesn't have the defensive skill of Austin Hedges or the offensive consistency of David Fry in his favor. Naylor is slashing .184/.253/.291 with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base over 174 plate appearances.
