  • Kevin Gausman SP | CHC

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Dominant start wasted

    Gausman came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Guardians, scattering one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

    The veteran right-hander put together perhaps his best performance of the season, generating 32 called or swinging strikes among his 94 pitches (66 total strikes), but he missed out on his third win of the year when the Blue Jays' bullpen melted down late. The quality start was Gausman's fourth in seven trips to the mound, and he'll take a 3.83 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB through 40 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Seattle.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Plays hero with late-inning homers

    Schneemann went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Getting the start at second base and batting sixth with Jose Ramirez (ankle) needing the day off, Schneemann did his best J-Ram impression in his place. With the Guardians down 3-0 heading into the eighth inning, the 28-year-old utility player took Chad Green for a solo shot before launching a grand slam off Yimi Garcia in the ninth. Schneemann has seen his playing time pick up in recent weeks and has taken advantage, and he's now slashing .276/.344/.552 through 24 games with four homers, eight runs and nine RBI.

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Nails down sixth save

    Clase recorded his sixth save of the season Saturday, working a perfect ninth inning in a 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Two groundouts and a pop-up from the top of the Toronto order got the job done for Clase. It's his second straight successful save conversion after getting a brief break from ninth-inning duties in late April, but the right-hander is still looking to put together a lengthy stretch of effectiveness -- he has yet to go more than three straight appearances this season without giving up a run. Through 14.1 innings, he carries a 6.28 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Fans nine in no-decision

    Williams came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on seven hits and five walks over four innings. He struck out nine.

    The right-hander was far from efficient, throwing 59 of 100 pitches for strikes, but his ability to generate timely strikeouts minimized the damage against him. Williams still exited the mound in line for the loss, but a Daniel Schneemann grand slam in the ninth inning got him off the hook for what would have been his second straight defeat. Williams will carry a 5.06 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 37:19 K:BB through 32 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Phillies.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Could play Sunday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora believes Campbell (ribs) will be able to play Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Cora hoped Campbell would be able to play Saturday, but he was instead held out for a third consecutive game due to rib discomfort. David Hamilton has filled at second base for all three contests.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Comes away with no-decision

    Martin didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Astros, giving up three runs on eight hits over five innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

    The White Sox staked Martin to a 3-0 lead in the first inning, but the 28-year-old righty let it slip away over the course of his 88 pitches (58 strikes). It's the first time this season he hasn't issued a walk in a start, and he hasn't served up a homer in three straight outings. Martin will take a 3.52 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB through 38.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Kansas City.

  • Jake Meyers CF | HOU

    Astros' Jake Meyers: Ties franchise record Saturday

    Meyers went 4-for-4 with a double, a triple, two home runs and seven RBI in Saturday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.

    The center fielder set a career high with the seven RBI, while the 13 total bases tied an Astros franchise record -- a mark shared by such Jeff Bagwell, Joe Morgan and Yordan Alvarez. Even more remarkably, Meyers came into the game with zero homers on the season. After the massive performance, he sports a .295/.337/.443 slash line with seven steals, 12 runs and 13 RBI in 31 games.

  • Hunter Brown SP | HOU

    Astros' Hunter Brown: Fans nine in fifth win

    Brown (5-1) picked up the win Saturday in an 8-3 victory over the White Sox, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out nine.

    The right-hander wobbled early as Chicago put a three-spot on the board in the first inning, but Brown settled in and gave his offense a chance to mount a comeback. The three earned runs are the most Brown has given up in a start this season, while he extended his quality start streak to seven with the performance. He'll take a 1.67 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 49:10 K:BB through 43 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Reds.

  • Aaron Judge RF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Extends hit streak with homer

    Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

    The reigning AL MVP extended his hitting streak to 13 games by taking Zack Littell deep in the first inning, which is Judge's 11th long ball of the season. During the streak, he's batting .500 (26-for-52) with four homers, 11 runs and 11 RBI, with all four blasts coming in the last six contests.

  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Lasts four frames in spot start

    Yarbrough didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rays, allowing one run on one hit and three walks over four innings. He struck out two.

    Pressed into duty when Clarke Schmidt (side) was a late scratch Saturday, Yarbrough gave the Yankees 64 pitches (36 strikes) before exiting the mound with the score tied 1-1. It was the southpaw's first start of the season, and through nine appearances and 19.1 innings he's posted a 3.72 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB. The team is optimistic Schmidt will be able to slot back into the rotation early next week, but if his injury proves to be serious, Yarbrough might be first in line to fill the hole.
