Perez (5-4) allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings Friday, striking out four and earning a win over the Rays.

It wasn't a very clean outing for Perez, but San Diego racked up 13 runs to give him an easy victory. All four runs against him came during the second inning, capped off by a two-run shot by Yandy Diaz (knee). Perez is 2-0 with a 3.41 ERA over six starts since joining the Padres. For the year, he owns a 4.71 ERA with a 91:42 K:BB through 114.2 innings. Perez is currently in line for a home matchup against the Tigers next week.

Hall (1-1) earned the win against Cincinnati in the second game of Friday's doubleheader, allowing four hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Hall was excellent in just his second big-league start since April. In two spot starts this month, the southpaw has allowed just one earned run while racking up 14 strikeouts over 11.2 innings. Overall, Hall sports a 4.82 ERA on the season with a 1.75 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB across 28 innings. While he figures to head back to Triple-A after the twin bill, he figures to be the first man up should the Brewers need rotation help down the stretch.

Falter did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-8 loss to Cleveland, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings. He struck out two.

The 27-year-old struggled out the gate, allowing a two-RBI double to Josh Naylor in the first inning to open the game's scoring. After allowing two more runs in the fourth inning, Pirates manager Derek Shelton had seen enough and didn't allow Falter out for the fifth, even though he'd tossed only 59 pitches. The Pittsburgh southpaw has pitched to 4.41 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 81:34 K:BB across 116.1 innings in 23 starts this season. He currently lines up to make his next outing at home against the Nationals.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's win over Tampa Bay.

Bogaerts walked and stole second base in the fourth inning before capping off his night with a ninth-inning solo homer. He snapped a 13-game homerless drought and has gone deep just twice in 27 games this month. However, since returning from the injured list in July, Bogaerts has gone 50-for-152 (.329) through 40 games. He owns a .268/.311/.372 slash line with seven homers and nine steals through 87 games.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Rays.

Machado knocked an RBI single and scored in the first frame. He did most of his damage the following inning when he launched a three-run homer. It was his third home run and third multi-hit performance over his last five games. Over his last 30 games, Machado has gone 39-for-120 (.325) with 19 extra-base hits and 30 RBI. The hot streak has boosted his season slash line to .274/.325/.466 through 538 plate appearances.

Thompson struck out the only batter he faced to earn a save over the Nationals on Friday.

Thompson struck out Dylan Crews with two runners on base to finish off the 7-6 win. It was Thompson's second save of the year and first since June 18. He's currently riding a 6.2-inning scoreless streak at the MLB level, lowering his season ERA to 3.26. Thompson took over the ninth inning after Tyson Miller and Drew Smyly each recorded one out, while Porter Hodge hasn't been called upon since a 36-pitch appearance Wednesday.

Fedde (8-8) took the loss Friday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out eight.

The St. Louis right-hander's regression with his new ballclub continued in this 96-pitch outing. He struggled the second time through the Yankees lineup, yielding an RBI double to Juan Soto before Austin Wells cracked a two-run homer to right field. After pitching to a 3.11 ERA over 121.2 innings with the White Sox, Fedde sports a 4.64 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB across 33 frames for the Cards. He tentatively is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Mariners next weekend.

Imanaga (11-3) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk over six innings Friday, striking out eight and earning a win over Washington.

Imanaga gave up three runs through three innings, including a solo shot off the bat of Dylan Crews, but settled in to deliver a quality start. It was Imanaga's second straight quality start and third in six August appearances. He gave up only three long balls through his first nine starts but has been taken deep 20 times over his last 16 outings. Imanaga now owns a 3.14 ERA with a 148:23 K:BB through 146.1 frames. He's projected for a home start against the Pirates next week.

Irvin (9-11) yielded seven runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.2 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Cubs.

Irvin fell apart in the second inning, coughing up all seven runs in the disastrous frame. It was capped off by Cody Bellinger's two-run blast. Irvin gave up five or more runs just once in his first 18 starts this season but has done so four times in his last 10 appearances. During that 10-start stretch, he's registered a 6.55 ERA, driving his season ERA up to 4.08 through 161 innings. Irvin's next outing is projected to come in Pittsburgh.

Arcia went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Friday's win over the Phillies.

Arcia put Atlanta on the board with a solo shot in the third inning before belting another homer in the sixth. He was stuck in a 10-for-60 (.167) slump over a 17-game span since his last multi-hit performance Aug. 11. Arcia is now slashing .228/.281/.373 with 15 home runs and 41 RBI through 130 games this season.
