  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Gets quality start Monday

    Corbin allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Orioles on Monday.

    Corbin picked up his second quality start of June and his fourth such outing all season. The southpaw gave up all three runs on a double by Gary Sanchez in the third inning. Corbin surrendered 17 runs over 29 innings in June, losing three of his five starts in the process, so it's been a tough go of things for him lately. Overall, he's at a 4.26 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 65:24 K:BB through 82.1 innings across 15 starts. He's projected for a road start in San Diego this weekend.

  • Orioles' Ramon Laureano: Four-hit effort in win

    Laureano went 4-for-6 with three doubles, one RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

    Laureano has been hitting the ball well lately, going 12-for-24 (.500) with a home run, five RBI, six doubles and 12 runs scored over his last six games, four of which were multi-hit efforts. The outfielder was a tough out all game, including when he supplied an insurance run with an RBI double in the 11th inning. For the season, he's up to a .287/.358/.538 slash line with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases and 13 doubles across 57 games.

  • Colton Cowser CF | BAL

    Orioles' Colton Cowser: Goes yard in win

    Cowser went 1-for-6 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

    Cowser extended the Orioles' lead to 6-3 in the 10th inning, but the Rangers were able to counter in their half of the frame. The outfielder went 13-for-45 (.289) with four homers and 12 RBI over his last 12 games in June. For the season, he's at a .229/.295/.510 slash line with seven homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base across 105 plate appearances. He remains a significant source of power from the bottom half of the lineup.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Huge impact in extras

    Henderson went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

    Henderson didn't have a hit until the 10th inning, when he lifted his two-run homer. The shortstop added a two-run double in the 11th, and the Orioles were able to hold the lead that time. While he's been held hitless in six of his last nine games, Henderson has four extra-base hits among seven knocks overall in that span. He's at a .277/.350/.449 slash line with 10 homers, 29 RBI, 44 runs scored, 15 doubles, three triples and nine stolen bases through 77 contests this season.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Turns in no-decision

    Rogers allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Monday.

    Rogers allowed a two-run home run to Marcus Semien in the sixth inning, which was the only scoring play he allowed. Rogers exited in line for the win, but Seranthony Dominguez was unable to protect a 3-2 lead in the seventh. Rogers is up to four starts in the majors this season, and he's pitched to a 2.05 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 22 innings. He appears to have a good path to starts for much of July as Zach Eflin (back) and Cade Povich (hip) are both on the injured list. Rogers' next start is projected to be this weekend in Atlanta.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Has shortest start of season

    Rasmussen took a no-decision after throwing three innings, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two, during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Rasmussen has pitched into at least the fifth inning in each of his 16 prior starts, but didn't even make it into the fourth inning Monday. The 29-year-old allowed four runs, tied for his most in an outing all year, and only threw 54 pitches before his evening came to an end. It was an early ambush from the Athletics that accounted for most of the damage, with Shea Langeliers hitting just the third home run that Rasmussen has allowed in his last nine starts. The right-hander will have a chance to rebound over the weekend as his next scheduled start is Sunday at the Twins.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Clubs homer in loss

    Caminero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Caminero has been having a breakout campaign this season, and that continued with another home run Monday. He's now up to 21 home runs on the season, tied for ninth in MLB. At 21-years-old, he is the youngest member of the top-10. The young infielder is slashing .259/.303/.518 with 53 RBI this season.

  • Mason Miller RP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Earns 16th save

    Miller picked up the save Monday, allowing just one hit while striking out one over an inning against the Rays.

    Miller needed just eight pitches, six of them strikes, to finish off the Rays and earn his 16th save of the season. The 26-year-old's 4.70 ERA isn't pretty, but the closer's strikeout numbers remain among the best of the game. After picking up his 50th strikeout of the season Monday, his K/9 is up to 14.7, the third-best mark in MLB amongst relievers with at least 30 innings pitched.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Keys big first inning with homer

    Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Monday's 6-4 win over the Rays.

    Langeliers, playing in his first game since June 5 after an oblique injury, homered in his first at-bat back with two men on to give the Athletics an early 3-0 lead before they even took the field. As one of five players with 10 or more home runs on the team, his bat is a welcome addition back to the lineup. Another encouraging sign is that the 27-year-old put the ball in play every at-bat. Strikeouts have been an issue for the backstop, who's struck out at least once in 12 of his last 14 games, dating back to before his injury.

  • Jacob Lopez SP | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Settles for no-decision

    Lopez settled for a no-decision after throwing 3.1 innings Monday against the Rays, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out one.

    Flying high entering play on a three-game streak of quality starts, Lopez was perfect through the first three innings, but the wheels came off quickly his second time through the Tampa Bay order. The left-hander didn't have his best stuff, striking out only one batter, and the four runs he allowed Monday doubled the amount of runs he'd allowed in his last four starts combined, a stretch of time spanning 23 innings. Despite his tough outing, the 27-year-old still carries an ERA of 3.88 through 46.1 innings on the season. The Giants await Lopez in his next start, scheduled for Sunday.
