Sale (14-3) earned the win over the Angels on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings while striking out 10.

Sale stifled the Angels' lineup for most of the night, allowing only two batters to reach second base over the first five innings before surrendering two runs -- one of which came across on a wild pitch -- in the sixth. The lefty induced 17 whiffs on the night and posted double-digit strikeouts for the third consecutive start. Sale has now won his four last decisions (spanning eight starts) and hasn't surrendered more than two runs since June 1 against the Athletics (a span of 12 starts).

Toglia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday against the Padres.

Toglia was the lone source of offense for the Rockies as he belted his 20th homer of the season in the sixth inning off Dylan Cease.

Campusano went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over the Rockies.
