Diaz pitched a scoreless ninth Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out three to earn his fourth save of the season.

Diaz was called upon in the ninth to preserve a one-run lead after the Mets went ahead in the top half of the inning and struck out the side. After a rocky 2019, Diaz has returned to dominant form with a 1.71 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 45:11 K:BB across 21 innings this season.

Castro (1-1) allowed a hit and a walk but struck out the side in a scoreless eighth inning as he earned the win over the Phillies on Wednesday.

Castro allowed two to reach via a base hit and a walk but got through the inning without any harm after striking out the side. The 25-year-old has a 4.09 ERA and 32:9 K:BB across 22 innings with the Orioles and Mets this season.

Neris (2-2) allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out two in the ninth as he took the loss Wednesday against the Mets.

Neris came in to begin the ninth with the score knotted at 4-4 and was unable to withhold the Mets from taking the lead. He was a double play away from getting out of the inning with two men on and one out but surrendered a line-drive single to center field by Andres Gimenez, bringing around Ahmed Rosario to score to eventually win the game for the Mets. Neris has had a down year in comparison to recent seasons with a 4.86 ERA and a career-worst 1.86 WHIP across 16.2 innings.

Garcia (2-0) pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning Wednesday against the Red Sox to pick up his second win of the season. He had two strikeouts on the night.

Garcia needed 16 pitches to get through the eighth as he sent Christian Arroyo and Alex Verdugo down on strikes before getting Rafael Devers to foul out to end the inning. Brandon Kintzler still has a grip on the team's closer role, but Garcia's 0.77 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 11.2 innings should have him next in line.

Clarke (2-0) earned the win Wednesday against the Angels. He allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while fanning three across five innings.

Clarke piggybacked Caleb Smith's short start and tossed five innings -- even though he didn't have his best stuff, he did it well enough to earn his second win of the season. Clarke has allowed three or more runs in each of his last three appearances, however, so he remains far from reliable.

Hudson (2-2) earned the win against the Rays on Wednesday, allowing a solo home run but recording two strikeouts in the ninth inning.

The veteran right-hander secured the first two outs of the inning with no issues, but he was unable to maintain the one-run lead and gave up a solo homer to Brandon Lowe, though he still ended up notching the victory. Hudson has a 7.13 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB over 17.2 innings and has converted nine of his 14 save chances this season.

Voth allowed one run on four hits and three walks over five innings during Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Rays. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

The right-hander surrendered a run during the first inning but blanked Tampa Bay over the next four frames. Voth has a 7.17 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB through 37.2 innings and lines up to pitch against the Phillies on Monday.

Suter allowed two hits and a pair of walks while striking out three over three scoreless innings in a no-decision in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

Suter had another good turn as an opener -- for the second straight outing, he posted three scoreless innings. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 3.12 with a 1.12 WHIP and 33 strikeouts across 26 innings this season. Three of his 14 appearances have been as an opener, and Suter also sees work in long relief at times.

Iglesias earned save No. 8 with a perfect inning against the Pirates on Wednesday. He struck out one batter.

Iglesias retired the side on seven pitches, preserving the shutout after Luis Castillo and Archie Bradley combined for eight scoreless innings. After a few early stumbles, Iglesias has been lights-out with just one earned run allowed in his last 11 appearances, going 6-for-7 in save chances in that span.

Morejon (2-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits across two-plus innings. He struck out three and did not issue a walk.

Morejon was called upon to start the bullpen game for San Diego. He worked into the third inning, with his lone earned run allowed being a solo homer to A.J. Pollock. The left-hander, who was tagged with his first loss of the season, is expected to continue working out of the bullpen going forward.
