Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Friday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Schmitt gave the Giants all the offense they needed with his first career grand slam in the third inning off Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Schmitt has hit safely in four straight games, going 6-for-15 with two homers and seven RBI in that span. He's getting a run of time at third base in the absence of Matt Chapman (hand), whose return is not imminent. For the season, Schmitt is slashing .231/.333/.369 with two homers, 10 RBI, five runs scored and no stolen bases over 76 plate appearances.

Webb (6-5) allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out four over seven innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Webb walked multiple batters for the first time in five starts, but it didn't put a damper on what's shaping up to be an excellent June. He's allowed a total of four runs with a 21:3 K:BB over 21 innings across his three starts this month. This was his first win since his eight-inning gem versus the Athletics on May 16, and Webb is now at a 2.58 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 105:20 K:BB across 94.1 innings through 15 starts. It's not clear when Webb will make his next start, as the potential return of Justin Verlander (pectoral) versus the Guardians next week, coupled with an off day Monday, could allow the Giants to build in some rest for their staff ace.

Myers went 3-for-5 with a two-run double and a run scored in Friday's 11-9 win over the Nationals.

Myers gave the Marlins a six-run lead in the third inning when his double off Mitchell Parker into center field brought Connor Norby and Eric Wagaman home. Myers has four multi-hit games over his last seven outings and has gone 10-for-35 (.286) with one steal and three RBI since returning from the 10-day injured list in late May.

Wagaman went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a two-run single in Friday's 11-9 win over the Nationals.

Wagaman gave the Marlins a 4-0 lead in the third with an RBI double to right field, and he added to the run total with a two-run single in the eighth that extended Miami's lead to three. It was Wagaman's 13th multi-hit game of the season, three of which have come over his last six outings. He has slashed .272/.302/.358 with one steal, four doubles, one home run and 10 RBI in 86 plate appearances over his last 20 games.

Naylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Padres.

Naylor tied the game with a solo shot in the second inning, and he contributed a sacrifice fly during the Diamondbacks' rally in the fifth. He has hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 11-for-25 (.440) with two homers and 10 RBI in that span. The first baseman continues to be a steady hitter in the heart of Arizona's lineup, posting a .302/.356/.478 slash line, nine homers, 47 RBI, 34 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 67 games this season.

Carroll went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Padres.

Carroll has hit safely in five straight games, going 6-for-21 (.286) with two homers and two triples in that span. The outfielder was bothered by a tight hamstring last weekend, but it hasn't appeared to affect his performance at the plate since he rejoined the lineup Sunday. He's now at 20 homers on the year, and he's added a .260/.338/.582 slash line with 44 RBI, 55 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, eight triples and 12 doubles over 68 contests.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Friday's 11-9 win over the Nationals.

Ramirez -- who went 0-for-18 with five strikeouts in his four games prior to Friday -- wasted no time getting the Marlins on the board with a solo homer in the first inning, and the 23-year-old backstop followed that up with another solo shot in the fourth. Ramirez is up to 10 home runs this season, which leads all rookies and is tied with Shea Langeliers (oblique) for fifth most among catchers.

Nelson (3-2) allowed one unearned run on six hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

Nelson gave up seven runs over just three innings in Cincinnati in his last start, but a return home served him well. He's allowed just one unearned run over 15.2 innings across his last three home appearances. The right-hander appears to have done enough for now to hold onto a spot in the rotation, which opened up when Corbin Burnes (elbow) suffered a season-ending injury and subsequently elected for Tommy John surgery. Nelson has maintained a serviceable 4.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB across 50 innings over 15 appearances (five starts) this season. His next start is projected to be at Toronto.

Cabrera did not factor into Friday's decision against the Nationals, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out five across three innings.

Cabrera struck out five of the first seven batters he faced, but he appeared to tweak his ankle on first base in the third inning after colliding with Eric Wagaman. Cabrera was able to stay in the game, but he gave up a two-run home run to James Wood on the next at-bat and did not come out for the fourth despite tossing only 64 pitches (38 strikes). The Marlins didn't announce an injury, and assuming he's given the green light, Cabrera is slated to make his next start against the Phillies at home next week.

Kolek (3-2) allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Kolek had come away with a pair of no-decisions in his last two outings despite covering 11.1 scoreless innings in that stretch. He had some trouble with the Diamondbacks, including allowing two solo home runs, and a rally in the fifth inning was enough to knock him from the game at 82 pitches (52 strikes). Kolek is now at a 3.50 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB across 46.1 innings over eight starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Dodgers.
