  • Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT

    Marlins' Marcell Ozuna: Stays hot with pair of homers

    Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.

    Ozuna has really heated up over the last two games, smacking three homers en route to five RBI. He has been the most productive member of a stacked Marlins outfield, slashing .322/.374/.567 while leading the team with 15 long balls.

  • Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: One of five Rockies to homer Monday

    Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Marlins.

    Blackmon's ninth-inning blast gave the homer-happy Rockies a useful insurance run, and was the team's fifth solo shot of the evening. The leadoff man entered this contest without a hit in thirteen plate appearances over the last three games, but made up for lost time with three in five tries this time around. He's sitting on a respectable .292/.357/.475 line at the moment.

  • Miguel Cabrera DH | DET

    Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Homers in extra-inning win over Seattle

    Cabrera hit a two-run homer as part of a 2-for-5 game in Monday's win over the Mariners.

    Cabrera now has three home runs in his past five games and multiple hits in three of his past four contests. It's a classic hot streak for Cabrera, who is now working on his eighth consecutive season with at least a .300 batting average, .370 on-base percentage, and .520 slugging percentage. Even at 33 years old, he remains one of the game's most complete hitters.

    Marlins' Marcell Ozuna: Drills 13th homer in Sunday's win

    Ozuna supplied all the game's offense Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Rockies.

    The homer was his 13th of the season and while he's cooled down a bit in June, Ozuna's still hitting .274 (17-for-62) on the month with three home runs and 14 RBI in 17 games.

  • Brandon Belt DH | TOR

    Giants' Brandon Belt: Belts 10th homer in Sunday's win

    Belt went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a solo shot, his 10th home run of the season, in Sunday's win over the Rays.

    He's found his power stroke in June, launching five homers in 15 games while hitting .358 (19-for-53). Belt is still looking for the first 20 HR campaign of his career, but he's well on pace to top that mark in 2016.

  • Justin Turner DH | CHC

    Dodgers' Justin Turner: Continues hot streak with ninth homer

    Turner went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, his ninth of the year, against the Brewers on Saturday.

    As if two homers and a walk-off single Friday weren't enough, Turner's home run in the third inning of this one tied the game and continued his ascent from early season struggles. The veteran was one of four Dodgers with two runs and posted a game-high three RBIs. In his last 12 games, Turner has raised his OPS 106 points.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Reds' Jesse Winker: Hits minor league DL with wrist injury

    Winker (wrist) went on the minor league DL at Triple-A Louisville on Friday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Winker is set for an exam with Reds team physician Dr. Timothy Kremchek early next week, suggesting that he won't be returning to action anytime soon.

  • Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton: Drives in two with two-hit effort Friday

    Stanton went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI in a win over the Rockies on Friday.

    A pair of hits rarely qualifies as a newsworthy effort, but it was just Stanton's second multi-hit game since May 13. He's driven in just five runs in June, but did manage to get his average back up to the Mendoza line. The slugger is batting .200/.309/.420 over 200 at-bats this season.

  • Bryce Harper 1B | PHI

    Nationals' Bryce Harper: Two hits in Friday's win

    Harper went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Friday's win over the Padres.

    It's his second straight two-hit game, and after slumping through the latter part of May, Harper's now hitting .308/.393/.404 through 52 June at-bats. It's only a matter of time before his power reemerges as well, so the Nats' slugger could be poised for a productive few weeks heading into the All-Star break.

  • Justin Turner DH | CHC

    Dodgers' Justin Turner: Walk-off hero versus Brewers

    Turner finished 3-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning in Friday's win over the Brewers.

    Turner provided all of the Dodgers' offense on a lean night, extending his hitting streak to five games in the process. He has hit .500 with a pair of home runs and six RBI over that span, raising his batting average to .243, which is as high as it has been in five weeks. Further, Turner has uncorked five of his eight home runs in the last 10 games and seems to be finally getting things on track after a slow start.
