  • Steven Kwan LF | CLE

    Guardians' Steven Kwan: Pops sixth homer

    Kwan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Mariners.

    Kwan went back-to-back with Nolan Jones in the third inning. Beyond that, there wasn't much success for the Cleveland offense, as Kwan had half of the team's four hits. He has four multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games, going 11-for-36 (.306) in that span. The light-hitting outfielder is up to six homers, 23 RBI, 32 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a .308/.370/.435 slash line over 65 contests this season. He's locked in as Cleveland's regular leadoff hitter.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Inefficient in no-decision

    Williams allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over four innings in a no-decision Friday versus the Mariners.

    Williams threw just 55 of 89 pitches for strikes, and he wasn't able to dial up enough strikeouts to make things go smoother. The result was an inefficient outing, the second time in four starts he's failed to complete five frames. Williams has maintained a 3.89 ERA this season, but his 1.47 WHIP and 72:39 K:BB over 69.1 innings are a little less encouraging. The right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road in San Francisco.

  • Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Registers 12th steal

    Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.

    Arozarena was one of seven Mariners with multiple hits in a 16-hit parade for the home team. The outfielder has four multi-hit efforts and three steals across his last six games, batting .407 (11-for-27) in that span. Arozarena had struggled with the bat early in the year, so any progress is good at this point. He's posted a .233/.346/.396 slash line with eight home runs, 12 steals, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored, 14 doubles and a triple over 66 games.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Racks up three hits in win

    Crawford went 3-for-5 with a double and one RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.

    Crawford has six multi-hit efforts over his 11 games in June, going 16-for-43 (.372) so far this month. The double was his first extra-base hit in five contests. The shortstop continues to be steady atop the Mariners' order, and he's now at a .286/.399/.393 slash line with five home runs, 25 RBI, 28 runs scored, 10 doubles and three stolen bases over 66 games this season.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Swats homer in win

    Tellez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.

    Tellez is batting .258 (8-for-31) over 10 games in June, with three of his hits in that span going over the fence. The first baseman is up to 11 homers, 27 RBI, 18 runs scored and a .214/.257/.453 slash line through 58 contests. His power has often come in bunches this season, but he's just two long balls shy of matching his total from each of the last two years, so he's doing just fine in a strong-side platoon role.

  • Jorge Polanco DH | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Homers in Friday's win

    Polanco went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.

    Polanco's bat is coming around -- he's hit safely in eight straight games, going 11-for-34 (.324) in that span. The homer was his first since May 12 versus the Yankees. Polanco is up to a .266/.312/.484 slash line, 11 homers, 33 RBI, 23 runs scored and two stolen bases over 56 contests, though his power has dropped significantly since the start of May. He spent much of last month batting second, but he's been between fourth and sixth in the lineup over the last five games, and the move down the order seems to be paying off.

  • Luis Castillo SP | CHW

    Mariners' Luis Castillo: Turns in quality start

    Castillo allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision Friday versus the Guardians.

    Castillo was able to limit the damage to back-to-back solo home runs by Nolan Jones and Steven Kwan in the third inning. After allowing just four homers in his first 12 starts of the year, Castillo has given up five long balls over his last two outings. On the positive side, Friday's effort was his eighth quality start, five of which have come over his last six games. Castillo has a 3.29 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 67:26 K:BB through 79.1 innings this season. The veteran right-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Red Sox.

  • Jacob Webb RP | CHC

    Rangers' Jacob Webb: Picks up fourth win in bullpen game

    Webb (4-3) was credited with the win in Friday's 3-1 victory over the White Sox, allowing one hit and no walks over two scoreless innings of relief. He struck out one.

    Webb gave the Rangers two spotless innings amid a bullpen game for the club, registering his fifth scoreless outing in a row. The 31-year-old right-hander should work as a middle reliever and occasionally a high-leverage arm going forward. On the campaign, Webb owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB with five holds over 31.2 innings.

  • Aaron Judge RF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Ties home run lead in loss

    Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

    Judge opened the game with three strikeouts against Garrett Crochet before taking him deep in the ninth inning. After going six games without a home run to open June, the superstar has launched five long balls over his last five contests. He continues to lead the majors by a wide margin with a 1.265 OPS and is now tied for the league lead in homers (26) while adding 60 RBI, 65 runs scored and six steals across 303 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Strong start to June continues

    Aranda went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mets.

    The first baseman clobbered his first long ball of the month, snapping a 16-game homerless skid entering Friday. Aranda is off to a strong start in June, hitting .333 (12-for-36) with a double, six RBI, four walks and six runs scored through 11 outings. Aranda has produced multiple hits in four of those contests.
