Miller secured the save Saturday against the Rangers, allowing one unearned run on one hit and no walks in the 10th inning. He struck out two.

Miller allowed the automatic runner in extra innings to score, but he held on for the save Saturday and hasn't given up an earned run in his past five outings. The right-hander continues to put together a spectacular campaign, producing a 0.87 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 61:12 K:BB over 31 frames. Miller is a flawless 20-for-20 on save opportunities, leading the National League in the category.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

The sixth-inning long ball off Lazaro Estrada was Crow-Armstrong's 16th of the season, and his fifth in the last seven contests as part of a 10-game hitting streak. During that heater, the 24-year-old center fielder is batting a sizzling .476 (20-for-42) with 11 total extra-base hits, four steals, eight RBI and 10 runs.

Rea didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing three hits over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

The right-hander retired the first 12 batters he faced before Brandon Valenzuela led off the top of the fifth inning with a single, and Rea got lifted after 78 pitches (50 strikes) when he gave up two more knocks in the sixth. He was still comfortably in line for his sixth win of the season until the Cubs' bullpen melted down in the seventh and eighth frames. It was an encouraging bounce-back performance from Rea after he got tagged for 11 runs in 9.1 innings over his prior two outings. He'll take a 4.99 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 59:28 K:BB in 79.1 innings into his next start, which is set to come on the road next week against the Mets.

Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 15-3 loss to the Phillies.

In a forgettable night for the Mets, Vientos took Cristopher Sanchez deep in the fourth inning before adding a single and scoring again in the seventh. The 26-year-old has hit safely in five of his past six games, homering twice with six RBI and four runs scored during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .223/.256/.393 with nine home runs, 32 RBI and 23 runs scored across 223 plate appearances.

Buehler took a no-decision Saturday against Texas, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Buehler tied a season high in punchouts Saturday, also matching his second longest start of the season. The 31-year-old right-hander has been dealing on the mound of late, working at least 4.2 innings while yielding exactly one run in four consecutive outings during the month of June. Buehler has a solid 3.96 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB over 72.2 frames, but he's next lined up for one of his toughest tests of the year against the Dodgers.

Sanchez (9-3) earned the win against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings.

Backed by an offensive outburst by the Phillies, Sanchez cruised to a quality-start victory. He surrendered a solo homer in the fourth inning but was otherwise fantastic, throwing 61 of 91 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. It was a nice response after the southpaw allowed four runs Sunday, and he's now logged a quality start in nine of his past 10 outings. He'll take a 1.80 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 121:20 K:BB across 105 innings this season into a road matchup against the Nationals next week.

Peralta (5-6) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits and one walk with two strikeouts over 2.2 innings.

Peralta was down 3-0 when he began a nightmare third frame in which he was charged with seven more runs. The 30-year-old yielded a career-high 10 earned runs overall in his shortest outing of the campaign, with his ERA rising from 3.90 to 4.83 for the season. He's now been charged with four earned runs or more in four of his past six starts. Peralta will take that inflated ERA, a 1.39 WHIP and 83:34 K:BB across 85.2 innings into a home matchup against the Cubs next week.

Harper went 4-for-5 with a single, a double, a triple, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-3 win over the Mets.

Harper opened the scoring with a solo homer in the first inning and later delivered his first career cycle with a triple in the fifth. It was a much-needed effort for the 33-year-old, who entered the contest just 1-for-22 over his previous seven games. For the season, he's slashing .259/.367/.506 with 16 home runs, 43 RBI, 50 runs scored and five steals across 316 plate appearances.

Albies went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Albies recorded the 11th multi-homer game of his career and his first of the season, highlighted Saturday by a walk-off, two-run shot. After posting a career-low .671 OPS over 667 regular-season plate appearances in 2025, the 29-year-old second baseman is returning to form in 2026. Through 322 trips to the plate, Albies is batting .284 with 12 long balls, 13 doubles, 40 RBI and 50 runs scored.

Schwarber went 4-for-5 with three home runs, six RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 15-3 win over the Mets.

Per Paul Casella of MLB.com, Schwarber became the only player in the Statcast era to hit multiple 450-foot homers in the same inning, doing so in the third. He then followed it up with a two-run shot in the seventh, marking the fifth three-homer game of his career. The veteran slugger has hit safely in eight of his past nine contests, going deep five times with nine RBI and nine runs scored during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .254/.368/.595 with a major-league-leading 28 long balls, 49 RBI, 49 runs scored and one steal across 329 plate appearances.
