Goodman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Goodman's blast came in the sixth inning, and while the Rockies made a comeback push, they fell short. Compared to recent contests, this was a quiet one for Goodman, but he's still 10-for-21 (.476) with three homers and 10 RBI over five games to begin September. The catcher has 29 long balls, 86 RBI, 67 runs scored, 25 doubles, four triples and a stolen base while maintaining an .871 OPS across 125 contests this year.

Luzardo (13-6) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out eight batters over six innings.

Though Luzardo issued four free passes, none of the batters he walked came around to score. The left-hander racked up 14 whiffs and eight punchouts while notching his seventh quality start across his past eight outings. During that stretch, Luzardo has posted a 2.64 ERA with a 54:13 K:BB over 47.2 innings. That's brought his season ERA down to 4.01 as he seeks to finish below the 4.00 mark for the third time in his past four campaigns.

Beck went 3-for-5 with three-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Beck has gone 10-for-31 (.323) over his last eight contests. His homer Saturday was his first since Aug. 3, giving him 15 long balls on the year, but he's still provided fairly consistent hitting from the heart of the order. Overall, Beck is batting .273 with a .776 OPS, 50 RBI, 57 runs scored, 15 stolen bases, 25 doubles and five triples across 128 games this season.

Moniak went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Contrary to a previous report, Moniak was in the lineup as the designated hitter. He snapped a stretch of 17 games without a homer when he went deep in the ninth inning Saturday, though he's been steady by going 18-for-63 (.286) across his last 18 contests. The outfielder is at a .267/.306/.508 slash line with 19 homers, 57 RBI, 54 runs scored and six stolen bases through 118 games this season, and he secured his first 100-hit campaign with Saturday's performance.

Brown (0-3) allowed six runs on five hits and a walk while striking out one over 1.2 innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Saturday.

Brown had the shortest start of his career so far as the Padres ambushed him for six runs in the second inning. He's now allowed 13 runs over 9.1 innings across three starts, losing all three. It's unclear if the Rockies will be willing to stomach a few more starts for Brown over the remainder of the season. If he stays in the rotation for another turn, he's tentatively projected for a rematch with the Padres in San Diego next week.

McCoy went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

McCoy started for just the second time in eight games since he was called up from Triple-A El Paso in late August. The infielder hasn't been able to supplant Jose Iglesias in the starting lineup on a regular basis, though McCoy has drawn both of his starts against right-handed pitchers despite being a righty hitter. His hit Saturday was his first of the season to go along with a 1:6 BB:K over 13 plate appearances, so he hasn't shown enough yet to push for a regular role.

O'Hearn went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

The double was O'Hearn's first extra-base hit since Aug. 26, and he's now gone 15 contests without a homer. He's 15-for-54 (.278) with five walks in that span, but he's added just one RBI. For the season, he's logged a .280/.372/.450 slash line, 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 61 runs scored, 19 doubles and three stolen bases over 125 games between San Diego and Baltimore.

Arraez went 3-for-6 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

Arraez knocked in the Padres' last two runs of the game in the fifth inning, which ended up being the difference in the game. The steal was his 10th of the season, establishing a career high, with five of those thefts coming over his last 19 games. In that span, he's batting .280 (21-for-75), which is right in line with his .287 average on the year. The infielder has added a .712 OPS, seven home runs, 54 RBI, 57 runs scored, 29 doubles and four triples over 136 contests as he continues to provide steady contact.

Tatis went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

This was Tatis' first multi-hit effort in seven games, though he's homered twice over his last three contests. His second-inning blast capped a six-run frame that gave the Padres an early advantage. Tatis reached the 20-homer mark Saturday and has added a .262/.367/.434 slash line with 61 RBI, 95 runs scored and 27 stolen bases over 138 games as San Diego's main leadoff hitter.

Suarez allowed one run on two hits over one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

Suarez picked up his first save since Aug. 26 despite giving up a solo home run to Mickey Moniak in the ninth inning. The lack of saves has been because of the Padres' 2-7 skid over the last nine games, with the only other win in that span being a blowout. This outing ended Suarez's 6.2-inning scoreless streak, but it was just the fourth homer he's allowed over 60 innings this season. The closer has matched his career high of 36 saves while maintaining a 3.00 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 63:14 K:BB.
