Seigler had the best game of his career, opening the scoring with a leadoff blast in the first inning and tallying his first four-hit effort. Through 111 plate appearances in 28 games with the Red Sox, the 27-year-old is slashing .273/.336/.455 with three homers, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and two steals.

The veteran southpaw has now converted eight straight save chances in July, yielding just one earned run over nine appearances during that stretch. On the year, he's 24-for-26 in save opportunities with a 1.87 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 42:17 K:BB across 33.2 innings.

Cantillo made his shortest start of the season since he went just two innings May 26 against Washington.

Mullins went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and a strikeout during Tampa Bay's 11-3 win over Cleveland on Friday.

Mullins hit his second triple of the season in his second at-bat and came around to score on Jonny DeLuca's RBI single in the fourth inning. In the eighth, the 31-year-old tallied his sixth double of the campaign and crossed home plate after Richie Palacios blasted a three-run homer. On the year, Mullins has slashed .204/.284/.355 with 12 homers, 31 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 347 plate appearances.

DeLuca went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, three runs scored and two strikeouts during Tampa Bay's 11-3 win over Cleveland on Friday.

On the season, DeLuca has batted .267/.303/.440 with six homers, 32 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 203 plate appearances.

Palacios went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a strikeout during the Rays' 11-3 win over the Guardians on Friday.

After picking up his first long ball since July 10, Palacios is now slashing .233/.328/.344 with four homers, 30 RBI and nine stolen bases in 247 plate appearances this season.

Fortes went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored as the Rays beat the Guardians by a final score of 11-3 on Friday.

Fortes recorded his second four-hit game of the season Friday, with the other coming June 10 against Boston. The catcher knocked an RBI single in the fourth to extend Tampa Bay's lead to 5-1 and recorded an RBI double in the seventh to pad the lead even further. Over his last seven games, the 29-year-old has been red hot, slashing .500/.522/.818 with two homers, eight RBI and five runs scored in 22 plate appearances.

The 27-year-old has now recorded at least one hit in four of his last five games, belting two home runs in that span. On the season, Vilade has slashed .260/.325/.480 with eight homers and 33 RBI in 170 plate appearances. Vilade's night was cut short after being replaced by Richie Palacios at second base in the seventh.

McClanahan (9-6) picked up the win after going five innings against Cleveland on Friday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out three.

After a rocky start in his last outing against Boston, McClanahan bounced back Friday, allowing just one run in five innings of work. The left-hander threw 71 pitches, 45 of them for strikes, though he tied his season low with just three strikeouts. Through 19 starts this season, the 29-year-old now holds a 3.09 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 88:33 K:BB in 96 innings.
