Logan Henderson SP | MIL
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Strong showing in no-decision
Henderson did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over five innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out six.
The rookie right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Oneil Cruz but otherwise scattered four singles and two walks. Henderson exited with a 3-1 lead but missed out on his fourth straight victory as the Brewers bullpen promptly squandered the advantage. Still, the 23-year-old has been nearly flawless in his first four MLB starts with a 1.71 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 21 innings. Henderson will have a tough task for his next turn through the rotation, however, as he lines up for a road matchup with the Phillies.

Mike Yastrzemski LF | ATL
Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Triples in win
Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.
Yastrzemski recorded his first three-bagger of the season on a flyball to center field in the third inning before coming around to score. The 34-year-old outfielder had gone 0-for-10 over his previous three games entering Sunday and is now slashing .262/.363/.421 with 23 runs scored, 17 RBI, 15 extra-base hits -- including five home runs -- and five stolen bases across 190 plate appearances this season.

Bailey Falter RP | ATL
Pirates' Bailey Falter: Falls short of quality start
Falter did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings in a 6-5 loss against the Brewers. He struck out one.
Falter surrendered three runs during the opening frame but settled down from there, though he fell an out short of his sixth quality start of the year since he was pulled after giving up a two-out single in the sixth inning. The left-hander's single punchout was a season low, but he's still given up just three earned runs across his past five starts. That strong stretch leaves him with a 3.47 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 40:21 K:BB through 59.2 innings this year. Falter is tentatively scheduled for a tough road matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Doubles, drives in two runs
Suarez went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to St. Louis.
Suarez gave Arizona an early lead with his two-run single in the first inning. He later doubled and scored a run in the sixth. It was his first game with at least three hits since belting four homers against Atlanta on April 26. Suarez has produced four multi-hit performances over his last 10 games, going 13-for-38 (.342) in the process. He's now slashing .230/.312/.503 with 24 extra-base hits and 41 RBI through 218 plate appearances.

Pete Alonso 1B | BAL
Mets' Pete Alonso: Ends homer drought Sunday
Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 3-1 win versus the Dodgers.
The New York first baseman snapped a 16-game homerless streak with a 406-foot long ball off Los Angeles starter Landon Knack in the opening frame. During that 16-game span, Alonso produced a putrid .175/.217/.222 slash line with three runs scored and five RBI across 69 plate appearances. Through 233 total plate appearances, the 30-year-old is slashing .291/.391/.536 with 10 homers, 30 runs scored and 40 RBI.

Sonny Gray SP | BOS
Cardinals' Sonny Gray: Turns in quality start
Gray did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over Arizona. He allowed three runs on nine hits over six innings while striking out five.
Gray coughed up a pair of runs in the first inning but settled in for the most part after that. He kept the Diamondbacks in check until Pavin Smith drove in Eugenio Suarez in the sixth. Gray has produced quality starts in three of his last four outings and has six on the year. He now owns a 4.06 ERA with a 66:13 K:BB through 62 frames. Gray has not been taken deep in either of his last two outings after coughing up three long balls in Philadelphia on May 14. His next matchup is projected to be on the road against the Rangers.

Reed Garrett RP | NYM
Mets' Reed Garrett: Secures first save
Garrett collected the save in Sunday's 3-1 win against the Dodgers, allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning. He struck out two.
After regular Mets closer Edwin Diaz pitched in back-to-back games Friday and Saturday, Garrett was called upon to convert his fifth career save. The 32-year-old showed no unsteadiness in working around a single to wrap the win easily on 15 pitches. Garrett was only filling in for Diaz, but given that he has been dependable with a 0.82 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 22 innings, he could enter the picture for saves in Queens if anything happens to Diaz.

Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Falls short of quality start
Pfaadt did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to St. Louis. He yielded three runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out five.
Pfaadt gave up a run in each of the first, third and sixth innings, including Masyn Winn's solo shot in the third. Pfaadt has been taken deep five times in his last three outings after giving up just three home runs in his previous six starts. He struck out 41 batters through 46.2 frames to begin the year but has since punched out only eight batters in 15.2 innings. He now owns a 3.90 ERA across 11 starts. He's currently in line for a home tilt against the Nationals next weekend.

Phil Maton RP | CHC
Cardinals' Phil Maton: Picks up second save
Maton allowed a hit and struck out two batters during a scoreless inning to earn a save against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Maton also hit a batter but was able to protect the 4-3 lead. He's now converted two of his three save chances this year and picked up his first since April 9. Overall, Maton has been successful this season; he's registered a 2.84 ERA across 19 innings and all six runs he's allowed so far came during two appearances. Ryan Helsley did not appear in the game after pitching Friday and Saturday.

Kodai Senga SP | NYM
Mets' Kodai Senga: Collects fifth win
Senga (5-3) earned the win Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing one run on five hits and four walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
The New York right-hander toiled a bit against the vaunted Dodgers, generating just seven whiffs out of 101 total pitches. The lone blemish on Senga's performance was a leadoff homer conceded to Shohei Ohtani. Despite an elevated walk rate (4.2 K/9) across 55.2 innings, Senga has yet to allow more than three runs in any outing. He'll carry a 1.46 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into his next start, which is currently slated to be against the feeble Rockies at home next weekend.
