Seager went 4-for-5 with a double and a strikeout in a 3-2 loss to San Francisco on Friday.

In a low-scoring game without much offense, Seager was responsible for half of Los Angeles' hits as the rest of the team went a combined 4-for-34. It was the shortstop's first multi-hit game in over two weeks, dating back to Aug. 18, and snaps a recent 5-for-25 skid over his last eight games. Since returning from injury July 30, Seager is slashing .300/.383/.482 with 17 runs and 14 RBI in 31 games.

Crawford went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 3-2 win against the Dodgers.

Crawford singled in the second inning, doubled in the eighth and singled in the tenth to tie the game at 2-2. The shortstop's three hits equal his total from his last eight games, a stretch in which Crawford went 3-for-28, as he remains a key cog on a strong Giants team.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 triumph over San Diego.

Correa was responsible for one of three hits against San Diego starter Jake Arrieta with his fourth-inning long ball to center, though that was the shortstop's only hit of the game. In connecting on the home run, Correa extended his on-base streak to 16 games, a stretch that's seen his slash line increase from .268/.361/.469 to .277/.370/.481.

Mateo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Yankees.

The infielder tied the game at 2-2 with his seventh-inning blast, which was his second homer as an Oriole. Mateo is up to four long balls, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored and nine stolen bases while slashing .262/.307/.411 across 180 plate appearances this year. He's found a regular role as Baltimore's starting shortstop lately, pushing Ramon Urias to third base and Kelvin Gutierrez to the bench against southpaws.

Rojas went 3-for-3 with three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 10-3 win over the Phillies.

Rojas drew a walk and scored on Jesus Sanchez's three-run homer in the first inning. He later singled twice and drove in three runs during the Marlins' seven-run sixth inning. Over the last two games, he's gone 5-for-7 with four RBI and four runs scored. Rojas improved his season slash line to .274/.334/.411 through 455 plate appearances.
