Patrick (3-5) took the loss Friday against the Padres after giving up one run on four hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out six.

It was a strong performance from Patrick, who registered 11 whiffs and fanned at least six in his fourth consecutive start. Friday also marked the rookie right-hander's fifth quality start of the campaign. Brandon Woodruff (elbow) has been pulled off his rehab assignment, which appears to have bought Patrick even more more time to cement his stay in Milwaukee's rotation. Patrick will take an excellent 2.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 63:21 K:BB over 69.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus Atlanta.

Vasquez didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Brewers after giving up two hits and four walks in 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

Vasquez had worked three hitless innings to begin the outing, but his lack of efficiency prevented him from getting deeper into the game. Just 40 of his 78 pitches landed for strikes, and the 26-year-old right-hander failed to reach the fifth inning for the sixth time in 13 appearances this year. Vasquez's 3.69 ERA on the season remains respectable, but his 37:34 K:BB and 4.8 walks per nine innings over 63.1 frames remain major impediments to his fantasy appeal. He won't be a recommended streamer versus the Dodgers his next time out.

Agnos (0-2) took the loss against the Mets on Friday after allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two in the ninth inning.

Agnos was brought in for the ninth, tasked with keeping the game tied at 2-2. He started off nicely by striking out Starling Marte, but Agnos proceeded to let the next two batters on base before giving up a two-run double to Francisco Lindor (toe). It marked the first time this season that Agnos yielded more than one run in an appearance, and the 24-year-old right-hander is up to a 2.37 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 19 innings.

Diaz earned the save against the Rockies on Friday, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

Diaz was brought in for the save opportunity after Francisco Lindor (toe) gave the Mets a two-run lead in the ninth. Diaz needed 13 pitches to get through the first two batters but just two to get Kyle Farmer to line out and secure the win. Diaz has converted 14 of 15 save opportunities this season and has a 2.39 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB across 26.1 innings.

Alonso went 1-for-3 with two walks, one run scored and a two-run double in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

Alonso put the Mets on the board in the seventh inning with a two-run double to left field and came home to score in the ninth on a Francisco Lindor (toe) double. Alonso has reached base safely in 15 straight games, and over that span he has slashed .310/.388/.690 with nine runs, four doubles, six home runs and 20 RBI across 67 plate appearances.

Soto went 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over Colorado.

Soto reached base safely four times and crossed home plate in the seventh and ninth innings. This was his 14th multi-hit game of the season and his first three-hit game in the regular season since last September with the Yankees. Soto has reached base safely in nine consecutive games and has gone 9-for-30 (.300) with two doubles, three home runs and six RBI over that span.

Lindor (toe) went 1-for-1 with a two-run double in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

Lindor was held out of the Mets' starting lineup due to a broken right pinkie toe, but he was brought in as a pinch hitter for the ninth inning with the game tied 2-2. He didn't waste time making his presence felt, as he smacked the second pitch of the at-bat to right field to bring home Pete Alonso and Juan Soto before being replaced by Luisangel Acuna to run the bases. Despite the injury, Lindor could be back in the lineup at some point during the weekend series, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Senga didn't factor into the decision against the Rockies on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.

It was another dominant start for Senga, who generated 22 whiffs on 109 pitches (67 strikes). He faced the minimum in three of the first four innings, and his only blemish was a Mickey Moniak solo homer in the third. This was Senga's sixth quality start of the season, and his 1.59 ERA (across 68 innings) is best in the National League among qualified starters. He's in line to make his next start against the Nationals at home next week.

Turang went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Padres.

The steal was Turang's 15th of the year, and he's now posted at least one hit in six of his last seven games. Over his last 11 outings, the speedy second baseman is batting .306 (11-for-36) with four doubles, four RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases. Turang ranks seventh in the National League in stolen bases thus far, but he has just one home run since April 9 and just four on the season.

Betts went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Cardinals.

Betts recorded three hits for the fourth time this season, but he wasn't able to cross home plate as the Dodgers were blanked for the fourth time this season. Betts was diagnosed with a fractured toe Monday, but he has gone 7-for-14 with three runs scored and one RBI since.
