Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Extends hitting streak in win
Correa went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.
Correa ran his hitting streak up to a modest five games, and he's been hitting well since returning from a concussion. In 112 plate appearances since coming off the IL, the veteran shortstop is slashing .298/.348/.471 with four home runs, six doubles, 11 RBI and 16 runs scored covering 28 outings. Although the RBI count is relatively low during that period, Correa should see plenty of chances to drive in runs as long as he's hitting in the heart of the Twins' order.

Jhoan Duran RP | PHI
Twins' Jhoan Duran: Locks down 11th save
Duran picked up the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners, throwing a clean ninth inning with one strikeout.
Duran made quick work of Seattle, tossing just nine pitches for his 11th save of the season. It was especially encouraging to see manager Rocco Baldelli turn right back to Duran in a save situation after he gave up a run and hit two batsmen in Tuesday's loss to the Mariners. On the year, the hard-throwing right-hander sports a 1.73 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB while converting 11 of his 13 save chances across 36.1 innings.

The slugging second baseman is slashing .396/.431/.563 during that span, adding two home runs, two doubles, six RBI and 10 runs scored.

The 31-year-old right-hander nailed down his 14th save of the season, also posting his 12th scoreless outing in his last 13 appearances. During that span, he owns a 1.35 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB covering 13.1 frames. Fairbanks has a 7.7 K/9 for the campaign, which would be a career low if it sticks, but he still has a 2.08 ERA and has converted 14 of his 16 save opportunities in 31 appearances.

Gavin Williams SP | CLE
Guardians' Gavin Williams: Falters late in no-decision
Williams did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win against the Blue Jays, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Williams allowed just one run over his first five innings but was unable to escape the sixth, ultimately being charged with three runs (two earned) in the frame. While the 25-year-old's 20:13 K:BB over five June outings is underwhelming, he has a 2.57 ERA across 28 innings while notching three quality starts during that stretch. He'll carry a 3.68 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 80:45 K:BB across 80.2 innings into a road matchup with the Cubs.
