Michael Toglia 1B | CIN
Rockies' Michael Toglia: Drives in three runs Friday
Toglia went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to Cincinnati.
Toglia tied things up at 4-4 in the third inning on a two-run, ground-rule double, and he drove in a third run in the fifth on an RBI single. It was Toglia's second multi-hit game of the year and the second time he's logged at least three RBI in a game. He's gone 9-for-34 with two walks, two runs scored, one home run and eight RBI over his last 10 games.

Jordan Beck RF | COL
Rockies' Jordan Beck: Belts two solo homers Friday
Beck went 2-for-3 with two walks and two solo home runs in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Reds.
Beck continued to mash the ball out of the park Friday. He now has five homers on the year, all of which have come over his last three games. He hasn't just been exploiting Coors Field, either -- the first three long balls came at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, which isn't known as a hitter's park. Beck's recent display of power could keep him in the Rockies' lineup even when Brenton Doyle (personal) returns.

Zac Gallen SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Takes fourth loss Friday
Gallen (1-4) took the loss Friday against Atlanta after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out six.
Gallen kept the hard contact in check to a degree -- it was just his second start this year in which didn't give up a home run -- but he yielded two RBI doubles during Atlanta's three-run second inning. The right-hander was able to tie a season high with 103 pitches, but it was his fourth consecutive outing with multiple walks allowed. Gallen has a disappointing 5.57 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB over 32.1 frames in 2025, and things won't get much easier in his next scheduled appearance on the road versus the Mets.

Brendan Donovan 3B | SEA
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Continues hot streak Friday
Donovan went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI single in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers.
Donovan drove in what was ultimately the game-winning run in the fifth inning, with his single to left field off Chad Patrick bringing Lars Nootbaar home. Donovan has logged at least one hit in 21 of 24 games this season, and his .366 batting average over 102 plate appearances leads the National League.

Chris Sale SP | ATL
Braves' Chris Sale: Five innings of one-run ball in win
Sale (1-2) earned the win Friday against the Diamondbacks after allowing one run on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out four.
Sale gave up just one extra-base hit, a third-inning Corbin Carroll triple that he left stranded, and he also notably escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning. Although he fanned a season-low four, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner got 11 whiffs, threw a season-high 104 pitches and yielded fewer than two runs for the first time in six starts this year. Sale now has a 5.40 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB across 28.1 innings, and he's set to face the Rockies in a tough spot at hitter-friendly Coors Field in his next projected outing.

Ryan Helsley RP | BAL
Cardinals' Ryan Helsley: Notches fourth save
Helsley earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not record a strikeout or a walk.
Helsley was brought in for the ninth inning to preserve a one-run lead. He got around an Isaac Collins leadoff single by inducing a double play, and Helsley secured the save after Caleb Durbin lined out to center field. Helsley has recorded a save in three of his last four outings and has a 2.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over nine innings this season.

Fernando Tatis Jr. RF | SD
Padres' Fernando Tatis: Tallies another multi-hit game
Tatis went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's loss to the Rays.
Tatis was the only Padre to record an extra-base hit Friday, and he submitted his 11th multi-hit game of the campaign in the process. Through 110 plate appearances in 2025, the star outfielder is slashing .340/.409/.629 with eight home runs, 17 RBI, 23 runs scored and seven stolen bases. Tatis ranks second in the National League in batting average and third in OPS across his 25 outings.

Matthew Liberatore SP | STL
Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Back in win column
Liberatore (2-2) earned the win against the Brewers on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits while striking out four across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
Liberatore got through the first five innings with ease, allowing just two baserunners over that span. His shutout efforts were dashed in the sixth inning on a Christian Yelich RBI single, and Liberatore was tagged for a second run after being lifted in the seventh. It was Liberatore's third straight quality start and fourth of the season, and his 0.97 WHIP through 31 innings is ninth best in the National League among qualified starters. He's tentatively slated to start next week on the road against the Reds.

Chad Patrick RP | MIL
Brewers' Chad Patrick: Gives up two runs in loss
Patrick (1-2) took the loss against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in 4.1 innings.
Patrick retired nine of the first 11 batters he faced, but his shutout efforts ended in the fourth inning on a Nolan Gorman sacrifice fly, and Patrick was tagged for another run after being lifted in the fifth. Patrick hasn't given up more than two earned runs in any of his five starts this season and has a 2.45 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings. Patrick is tentatively slated to start against the White Sox next week, though it's unclear whether he will get another turn in the Brewers' rotation after Tobias Myers was activated from the 15-day injured list Thursday.
