Cody Bellinger LF | NYY
Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Three hits, homer in win
Bellinger went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a double and three total runs scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the A's.
Bellinger extended the Yankees' lead to 10-1 in the fifth inning with his home run off lefty Hogan Harris, his 11th of the year and just his second in 19 games. While he hadn't been hitting for much power, Bellinger has certainly been productive at the plate, going 17-for-42 (.405) in his last 10 games. Overall, he's slashing .270/.332/.460 with 42 RBI, 40 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 319 plate appearances this season.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Saddled with sixth loss
Bubic (6-6) suffered the loss in Sunday's game against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings with five strikeouts.
The Kansas City southpaw contained the star-studded Los Angeles lineup in this 90-pitch performance. Bubic limited the Dodgers to just one extra-base hit -- an Enrique Hernandez two-run blast in the second inning. He also crossed the 100-strikeout milestone for the third time in his career, achieving the feat for the first time since 2022. The 27-year-old left-hander appears bound for his first All-Star appearance, as he's pitched to an impressive 2.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 101:29 K:BB across 96 total frames. Bubic is currently slated to make his next start at Arizona next weekend.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Homers, drives in four
Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four total RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the A's.
Chisholm opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo shot off Luis Severino before extending New York's lead to 4-0 in the third with a bases-clearing triple. The 27-year-old Chisholm is up to 13 homers this year, with three coming in his last four games. He's slashing .242/.336/.495 with 35 RBI, 31 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 220 plate appearances this season.

Luis Severino SP | ATH
Athletics' Luis Severino: Struggles vs. Yankees
Severino (2-9) took the loss Sunday against the Yankees, allowing seven runs (six earned) on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
It was another rough outing for Severino, who's lost five of his last six starts while struggling to a 7.99 ERA in that span (32.2 innings). Overall, the right-hander sports a 5.18 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and 71:34 K:BB across 18 starts (104.1 innings) this season. Severino will look to right the ship in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week against the Giants.

Marcus Stroman SP | NYY
Yankees' Marcus Stroman: Grabs win in return
Stroman (1-1) earned the win Sunday against the A's, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out one.
Stroman was sharp in his return from a two-and-a-half-month stint on the IL. The right-hander blanked the A's through four innings before ultimately allowing a lone run on a Willie MacIver solo homer in the fifth. It's certainly an encouraging sign for Stroman and the Yankees, after he struggled to an 11.57 ERA in his first three starts (9.1 innings) this year. Stroman is currently lined up to face the Mets on the road in his next outing.

Aaron Judge RF | NYY
Yankees' Aaron Judge: Homers twice as DH
Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs and an additional run scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Athletics.
According to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, Judge was nursing a sore back heading into the game, which was likely a factor in him drawing a start at designated hitter Sunday. He certainly wasn't slowed down at the plate, however, logging his fifth multi-home run game this season to give him 30 long balls through 83 contests. Judge, who went just 4-for-23 (.160 average) in seven games prior to Sunday, is still slashing a robust .356/.458/.722 with 67 RBI, 73 runs and six stolen bases across 369 plate appearances on the campaign.

Taj Bradley SP | MIN
Rays' Taj Bradley: Falls to Baltimore
Bradley (5-6) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk across 5.1 innings. He struck out two.
Bradley held the Orioles to just one run through his first four innings, but he'd unravel late, giving up four runs over his final 1.1 frames. Bradley's had a tough time against Baltimore this year -- he's allowed 11 runs in just 6.2 innings in two starts against the O's. Overall, the right-hander sports a 4.79 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 79:36 K:BB across 17 starts (92 innings) this season. Bradley will look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Minnesota.

Dean Kremer SP | MIN
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Blanks Tampa in seventh win
Kremer (7-7) earned the win Sunday over the Rays, allowing three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.
It was an impressive outing from Kremer, who worked around a pair of singles in the first inning before holding Tampa to just one hit over his subsequent six frames. The 29-year-old Kremer has allowed just two runs across 17.2 innings in his last three starts. His ERA is down to 4.27 on the year with a 1.29 WHIP and 78:25 K:BB across 17 outings (97 innings). Kremer will look to keep rolling his next time out, currently scheduled to come next week in Atlanta.

Logan Taylor Allen RP | CLE
Guardians' Logan Allen: Falls to St. Louis
Allen (5-6) took the loss Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.
Allen found himself in trouble in the first inning, allowing a walk and a single before giving up a three-run homer to Nolan Gorman with two outs. Allen eventually settled in and blanked the Cardinals over his final five innings, logging a quality start, though the Guardians failed to provide any run support in an eventual 7-0 defeat. The left-hander sports a 4.27 ERA with a 1.49 WHIP and 60:34 K:BB across 78 innings this season. Allen is currently scheduled to face the Tigers at home in his next outing.

Jacob Latz RP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob Latz: Exits Sunday's game
Latz was removed in the ninth inning of his relief appearance in Sunday's game against the Mariners due to an unspecified reason, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports. He struck out four and allowed one hit and one walk over 2.1 scoreless innings.
After taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning while working as a starter in his previous appearance Tuesday in Baltimore, Latz ended up shifting back to the bullpen this weekend. He entered Sunday's contest in the top of the seventh and worked two scoreless frames before he was lifted in the top of the ninth after striking out a batter and giving up a ground rule double. Wilson relays that Latz was dealing with an illness Saturday and may have been dealing with some fatigue, but the Rangers will likely elaborate further on Latz's early exit once Sunday's contest concludes.
