  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Two homers in Tuesday's win

    Canzone went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.

    Canzone homered in the sixth and eighth innings, with the latter blast providing enough offense to get the Mariners a hard-earned win. He has gone 6-for-13 with three homers over his last three contests. For the season, Canzone is batting .263 with an .863 OPS, 18 homers, 49 RBI, 37 runs scored, one stolen base, 15 doubles and a triple over 93 games in a strong-side platoon role.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Allows run but earns save

    Munoz allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.

    Munoz's 13-inning scoreless streak came to an end as the Dodgers applied significant pressure in this outing. Munoz was able to limit the damage to one run, allowing him to pick up his 19th save of the campaign and his third over his last three outings. The veteran reliever has a 3.99 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 59:16 K:BB over 38.1 innings this season, but he has been much more reliable since mid-June.

  • Luis Castillo SP | CHW

    Mariners' Luis Castillo: Gives up five runs against Dodgers

    Castillo allowed five runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Castillo gave up multiple home runs for the third start in a row, as Shohei Ohtani led off the bottom of the first inning with a long ball and Max Muncy went yard in the fifth. This was the first time Castillo had allowed five earned runs since April. July was a rough month for the veteran, who gave up 14 runs over 23 innings across his four outings. On the year, he has a 5.06 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 86:32 K:BB across 99.2 innings over 20 games (17 starts). Castillo is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Tigers, but that is a loose projection given the likelihood the Mariners move a pitcher before the trade deadline.

  • Hogan Harris RP | ATH

    Athletics' Hogan Harris: Survives shaky save chance

    Harris recorded his ninth save Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out three over 1.1 innings.

    Harris entered with a three-run lead in the eighth inning after Luis Medina left runners on the corners with two outs. He immediately allowed an RBI single to Wilyer Abreu before escaping the inning with a strikeout. The ninth proved even more eventful, as Harris gave up a single and a two-run homer to Connor Wong to trim the lead to one run before inducing a game-ending flyout. The two runs were his first allowed since the All-Star break. Harris has converted three saves over his last five appearances and owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 65:38 K:BB with nine saves in 13 chances and 10 holds this season.

  • Jake Bennett SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Jake Bennett: Win streak comes to end

    Bennett (6-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings.

    Bennett surrendered a pair of singles in the second inning that produced the Athletics' first run before settling in and allowing just three hits over the next four frames. His night ended in the seventh as a leadoff walk was followed by a two-run homer from Brian Serven. The defeat was the left-hander's first since June 17, as he had gone 5-0 with a 1.40 ERA over his previous six starts. Bennett has completed at least five innings in all 11 of his starts this season and will carry a 2.47 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 46:11 K:BB into his next scheduled outing Sunday against a dangerous Dodgers lineup.

  • Gage Jump SP | ATH

    Athletics' Gage Jump: Snaps losing streak

    Jump (4-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

    Jump threw only 53 of his 90 pitches for strikes and issued four walks for the second consecutive start, but he overpowered Boston by generating 19 whiffs. He finished the outing by striking out four of the final six batters he faced and secured his first win since June 18 after dropping five straight decisions. During that losing streak, Jump surrendered 22 runs (20 earned) across 21.2 innings, causing his ERA to climb over two full runs. He now owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 68:25 K:BB across 63 innings this season and is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Tigers.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Goes yard in loss Tuesday

    Springer went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a run scored and a walk during Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

    With Toronto trailing 8-3 in the eighth inning, Springer cut the deficit to just two runs, blasting a three-run homer off Gus Varland. For the 36-year-old, it was his second homer in his last four games, as he extended his hitting streak to four contests. On the season, Springer has slashed .234/.315/.405 with 12 home runs and 33 RBI in 339 plate appearances.

  • Kazuma Okamoto 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Blasts homer in loss

    Okamoto went 1-for-2 with a homer and two runs scored in Toronto's 8-6 loss to Washington on Tuesday.

    After replacing the injured Vladimir Guerrero (hamstring) at first base in the bottom of the fourth inning, Okamoto clubbed a homer in his first at-bat in the fifth. The 30-year-old later came around to score on George Springer's three-run homer in the eighth. On the campaign, Okamoto is slashing .226/.304/.449 with 24 homers and 66 RBI in 427 plate appearances. If Guerrero is to miss time, Okamoto would likely receive more playing time at first base.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Three hits in return to lineup

    Baez went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 14-0 rout of the Orioles.

    Getting the start in center field and batting ninth in his first big-league action since April 28, Baez made an immediate impact as part of a 19-hit barrage by the Tigers that saw them put at least one run on the board in every inning. Baez will likely take over for James Outman as Detroit's primary center fielder in the short term, but the potential promotion of top prospect Max Clark looms if the organization decides to give him a look later in the season. Over 86 plate appearances this season, Baez sports a .280/.302/.427 slash line with two homers, one steal, six RBI and 11 runs.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Crosses plate four times in rout

    McGonigle went 4-for-5 with a walk, four runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 14-0 rout of the Orioles.

    The star rookie found his way home in the first, second, fourth and seventh innings as Detroit put at least one run on the board in every frame. McGonigle has banged out multiple hits in three straight games, and over 11 contests since the All-Star break he's batting .333 (15-for-45) with two doubles, a homer, two RBI and eight runs.
