Helsley allowed two hits in a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 12th save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Orioles. He did not strike out or walk a batter

Helsley faced the top of the Orioles' order and worked around two singles to secure the victory. The 30-year-old has converted all eight of his save chances in May, though he's allowed at least one hit in eight of 10 appearances this month. On the year, he's 12-for-14 in save opportunities and owns a 3.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB across 20 innings.

Faucher tossed a perfect ninth inning with no strikeouts to earn the save in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

Faucher was called upon to face the top of the Padres' order and needed just eight pitches to convert his first save since April 22. With Jesus Tinoco struggling and Ronny Henriquez used in the seventh and eighth innings Wednesday, Faucher may be back in the mix for closing opportunities. He ranks second on the team with three saves and owns a 5.21 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 19 innings this season.

Sheets went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to the Marlins.

Sheets got the scoring started with an RBI single in the first inning and later gave the Padres an 8-7 lead with a two-run home run in the seventh. The 29-year-old has been on a power binge over his last 10 games, homering five times with 11 RBI. He's been a pleasant surprise so far this season, slashing .275/.324/.509 with 11 long balls, 34 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base across 185 plate appearances.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

Lopez tied the game at 6-6 with a three-run homer in the fifth inning. It was the 26-year-old's first multi-hit effort since April 29, though he is currently riding a modest five-game hit streak. On the season, he's batting .239 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and five steals across 156 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

Ramirez launched a solo home run in the third inning and later ignited the Marlins' comeback with a two-run single in the eighth that put them ahead 9-8. It was a career day for the rookie, as he set personal bests with four RBI and four hits. On the season, he's slashing an impressive .262/.318/.525 with seven homers, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, and one stolen base across 132 plate appearances.

Feyereisen cleared waivers Tuesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Feyereisen was pushed off the 40-man roster Sunday after the Dodgers signed Chris Stratton to a big-league contract, but the former will officially remain within the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Feyereisen has posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 14 innings in Triple-A this season.

Cruz went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Cruz drove in a run in the fifth inning and then put an exclamation point on things with a home run in the eighth that came off the bat at 109 mph. Over his past 10 games, the 26-year-old has hit safely seven times while collecting four home runs, eight RBI, nine runs scored and two steals. On the season, he's slashing .230/.352/.489 with 12 homers, 26 RBI, 32 runs scored and 18 stolen bases across 210 plate appearances.

Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Kiner-Falefa helped spark a late surge from the Pirates' offense, reaching base and scoring in the fifth, sixth, and eighth innings. Since returning from the injured list May 12, the shortstop has slashed .327/.362/.473 with six extra-base hits, six RBI, nine runs scored and two steals. He's had a quietly productive season, slashing .297/.343/.381 with one home run, 13 RBI, 20 runs scored and eight steals across 167 plate appearances.

Hart did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to the Marlins, allowing five runs on six hits and no walks with one strikeout over 4.2 innings.

Hart threw 39 of 57 pitches for strikes but struggled to miss bats and was tagged for two home runs. He exited in the fifth inning with two runners aboard, and both scored on a homer surrendered by reliever David Morgan. Making his first major-league start since April 23, Hart has now allowed five earned runs in three of his six outings with the Padres this season. He owns a 6.66 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 25.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Giants next week.

Alcantara did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres, allowing six runs on seven hits and four walks with no strikeouts over four innings.

Alcantara unraveled in a disastrous fourth inning, allowing seven baserunners and five runs. He managed just one swinging strike on 71 pitches and failed to record a strikeout for the first time since 2019. The former Cy Young winner has now surrendered at least four runs in six consecutive starts. He owns an unsightly 8.47 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 40:29 K:BB across 51 innings and can't be relied upon even in a favorable home matchup against the Rockies next week.
