Perdomo homered during the Friday portion of the first game, which was suspended after six innings with score tied 3-3. Since being moved up in the order a week ago, Perdomo has gone 3-for-25 over six games.

Jesus Sanchez RF | TOR
Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Career day powers win
Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double, two runs scored and five RBI during Saturday's 11-10 extra-inning victory over the Rays.
Sanchez delivered a new career high with five RBI, fueled by two big-time hits -- a three-run home run and a two-RBI double. The 27-year-old has seven hits, four of them for extra bases, and has driven in eight of his 23 RBI on the season over his last five games. His .269 batting average is on track to be the best of his career.

Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Giants' Matt Chapman: Blasts walk-off bomb
Chapman went 1-for-4 with a walk-off two-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Atlanta.
The third baseman played hero Saturday, launching a walk-off homer to extend the Giants' winning streak to four games. The team has leaned heavily on its pitching, but Chapman has been a key contributor offensively, slashing .389/.463/.750 with seven extra-base hits and five RBI over his past 10 games. The 32-year-old and Heliot Ramos are the only Giants with an OPS above .800 this season.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Reaches three times in win
Edwards went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, a double and a walk during Saturday's 11-10 extra-inning win over the Rays.
June has been a kind month to Edwards so far as he's now recorded a hit in four of the five games he's played. The 25-year-old is 9-for-18 with four runs scored, three doubles, three RBI, two walks and just one strikeout. He is slashing .284/.355/.326 on the season, so it's good to see him getting some extra-base hits.

Pierce Johnson RP | CIN
Braves' Pierce Johnson: Surrenders walk-off homer
Johnson (1-3) blew the save and took the loss Saturday against San Francisco. He allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.
The right-hander has taken the loss on back-to-back days, this time giving up a two-run homer to Matt Chapman that spoiled Bryce Elder's stellar outing. Johnson has gotten a shot at closing games amid Raisel Iglesias' struggles, but he's posted a 6.23 ERA and 1.73 WHIP over his past 10 appearances, and he has more blown saves on the year (two) than successful conversions (one) .

Logan Webb SP | SF
Giants' Logan Webb: Strong showing in no-decision
Webb did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against Atlanta. He struck out 10.
Webb struck out double-digit batters for the fourth time this season. San Francisco's ace has been both consistent and effective in 2025, pitching to a 2.58 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 87.1 innings in 14 starts. If he maintains this level of performance, the 28-year-old is on pace to record his first sub-3.00 ERA season since 2022 and set a career high in strikeouts.

Bryce Elder SP | ATL
Braves' Bryce Elder: Sets career high in strikeouts
Elder did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks over eight innings against San Francisco. He struck out 12.
The right-hander delivered his most dominant outing of the season, setting a career high with 12 strikeouts while allowing just one run on a Wilmer Flores homer in the fourth inning. Elder has bounced between the majors and Triple-A, but he's shown improvement as the season has progressed, posting a 2.97 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over his past five starts with Atlanta. The 26-year-old should remain in the rotation with AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow) out.

Mitchell Parker RP | WAS
Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Takes sixth loss
Parker (4-6) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and no walks over six innings against Texas. He struck out five.
Parker delivered six solid innings, but a lack of run support from Washington resulted in his sixth loss of the season. Despite the defeat, this was a much-needed rebound performance for the southpaw, who entered the game with a 7.99 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over his previous seven starts.

Luis Arraez 2B | PHI
Padres' Luis Arraez: Comes through with clutch hit
Arraez went 1-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.
San Diego trailed by two runs with two outs in the ninth inning before Arraez tied the score with a two-run double. The big hit wasn't quite enough to send San Diego home with a victory, however, as Caleb Durbin swatted a walk-off homer for the Brewers in the bottom of the frame. Arraez has reached base safely in each of his first six games in June, though he's batting just .250 (7-for-28) during that span. Arraez's batting average sits at a fine .281 on the campaign, but that's well below his career mark as his three-year streak of winning a batting title looks to be in peril.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Crushes walk-off homer
Durbin went 2-for-4 with a walk-off solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 victory versus San Diego.
The Padres rallied from a two-run deficit to tie the score in the top of the ninth inning, but that just set up Durbin's heroics. The rookie infielder led off the bottom of the frame and deposited David Morgan's first pitch over the outfield wall to send the Brewers home with a victory. It was just the second career homer for Durbin, who has struggled to gain his footing in the majors with a .218/.298/.331 slash line through 44 games.
