Gallen did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Brewers, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings.

Gallen was able to work around some traffic on the bases in both the first and third innings to keep the Brewers off the scoreboard but didn't have the same fortune in the fifth. Eric Haase and Brice Turang started off the frame with singles before Jackson Chourio brought them all home with a home run to left center. It was just the second home run Gallen has given up since July 20 and he's struck out at least seven in five straight starts, however he's also issued multiple walks in 10 of his last 11 starts. For the year, he's at a 3.61 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 140:51 K:BB in 137 innings and lines up for another meeting against the Brewers in Milwaukee this weekend.

Hall did not factor into the decision during Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four in three innings.

Four singles in the first inning led to two runs for the Diamondbacks. They would score three more in the third with just one hit after Hall loaded the bases and Pavin Smith cleared them with a double. It was a step backwards for Hall, who was working on 12.2 scoreless innings across his last three appearances coming into Sunday. He's shown upside at times but owns a 4.91 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 38:20 K:BB in 36.2 innings. It's possible he gets another start, but he'll likely return to a relief role for now.

Chourio went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a triple, five RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Chourio got the Brewers on the board with a three-run blast in the fifth and then came up big again in the 10th inning with a two-run triple that came off the bat at 110 MPH on a 103 MPH fastball from Justin Martinez. Chourio's knocked in eight runs over the last four games with four extra-base hits over that span. He's heating up significantly after a .194 batting average through his first nine games of the month. The 20-year-old NL rookie of the year candidate is slashing .276/.330/.478 with 21 homers, 77 RBI, 75 runs, 20 steals and a 37:104 BB:K in 522 plate appearances.

Haase went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Haase did damage in the sixth inning with a two-run blast to left off of Kevin Ginkel. It was his second time with three hits in a game this season and second home run over his last three starts. He's made just three starts since the beginning of September and is up to five homers, 13 RBI and nine runs scored for the year.

Turang went 3-for-4 with two walks, three runs scored and a steal in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Turang posted his fourth game this month with multiple hits and just his fifth game of the season with multiple walks. He's now reached base eight times over the last two games and has swiped a bag in each game as well. Turang continues to lead off against righties despite just a .217 average and .279 OBP since July 1. For the year, he's hitting .259/.322/.360 with 34 extra-base hits, 53 RBI, 69 runs, 43 steals and a 47:99 BB:K in 571 plate appearances.

Iglesias (5-2) took the loss Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing five runs on four hits and a walk while striking out one in just two-thirds of an inning.

Iglesias was working in a tie game and retired two of the first three hitters he faced with Will Smith hitting a triple. Atlanta opted to intentionally walk Shohei Ohtani to get to Mookie Betts, who put the Dodgers ahead with a base hit. Iglesias was unable to get the final out, as Freddie Freeman singled home another two runs and Teoscar Hernandez mashed a two-run homer. It was a truly shocking performance from Iglesias who had not allowed an earned run since June 16 and hadn't allowed more than two hits since April 24. Iglesias is still having a career year with a 1.87 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 64:12 K:BB in 62.2 innings and needs four more saves to set a new career high.

Morton did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Morton blanked the Dodgers through four innings and allowed just two baserunners. They eventually got one in the fifth off a Shohei Ohtani double after the Dodgers opened up the frame with a single and a walk. Morton now has consecutive quality starts for the first time since July and has a 2.68 ERA over his last seven starts. He's now down to a 4.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 161:59 K:BB in 155 innings and lines up for a favorable start against Miami later in the week.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

Edman went deep to right-center off John Brebbia in the ninth for his fifth homer in five games after being homerless for his first 19 games of the season. Over his last eight games, Edman has four multi-hit efforts with seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI. For the year, he's slashing .300/.333/.522 with five homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs, five steals and a 5:18 BB:K in 96 plate appearances.

Muncy went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

Muncy blasted a solo home run off John Brebbia in the top of the ninth for the Dodgers' third home run and seventh run of the inning. Muncy now has six homers in 80 plate appearances since returning from a strained oblique in August with four of those home runs coming over the last seven games. He's now up to 15 on the year and has knocked in 40 runs while scoring 39 times in 62 games.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 9-2 win over Alanta.

Hernandez's bat woke up at the right time, as he swatted a two-run homer off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth to put the Dodgers up 7-2. The home run was his first since Aug. 28 and puts him one away from reaching 30 for just the second time in his career. Hernandez now has a hit in all four games since returning to the lineup, including three extra-base hits, following a brief absence due to an ankle contusion. For the season, he's slashing .268/.333/.493 with 62 extra-base hits, 89 RBI, 77 runs, 11 steals and a 48:171 BB:K in 597 plate appearances.
