    Reds' Chase Burns: Dominant in Double-A shutout

    Burns allowed three hits and struck out six in a complete-game, seven-inning shutout victory for Double-A Chattanooga on Saturday.

    Burns was masterful in retiring the first 17 batters he faced before allowing three singles over his final 1.1 innings. The Reds' top pitching prospect was still hitting 98 mph in his final frame, per Jesse Borek and Cole Winetraub of MLB.com. The right-hander has walked just four batters over 42 innings since his promotion to Double-A and owns a combined 75:9 K:BB on the season.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Slugs 12th homer

    Marte went 2-for-7 with a two-run home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended after six innings due to weather and completed Saturday.

    Marte launched his 12th homer of the year during the Friday portion of the suspended game, giving him home runs in consecutive games and four in a four-game span. Marte has nine home runs and 16 RBI over the last 19 contests, during which he's slashed .342/.455/.740 across 89 plate appearances.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in loss

    Perdomo went 1-for-7 with a solo home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended due to rain and completed Saturday.

  • Jesus Sanchez DH | ARI

    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.

  • 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.
