Marte went 4-for-6 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over the Giants.

Marte led the Diamondbacks offense to a monster night as the team scored 17 runs. This is the second baseman's first four-hit effort since Sept. 19, 2023, which also came against San Francisco. Marte has been scorching hot to start the season, slashing .345/.392/.598 with five home runs, 12 RBI and 21 runs scored over 97 plate appearances.

Alexander went 3-for-5 with a home run, five RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Giants.

Alexander enjoyed the best game of his young career, hitting his first career grand slam in the eighth inning. The 24-year-old rookie has filled in admirably since Geraldo Perdomo (knee) was placed on the injured list April 4. Alexander is slashing .340/.404/.596 with three home runs and 12 RBI over his first 52 plate appearances.

Montgomery (1-0) earned the win Friday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks over six innings against the Giants. He struck out three.

Montgomery looked sharp in his season debut, and the left-hander wasn't even in peak form as his fastball averaged 93.3 mph, down 1.7 mph from last year. Given that Montgomery signed with Arizona on March 29, it's understandable he still has some work to do to get fully up to speed. His next start is scheduled to come at home against his former team, the Cardinals.

Snell (0-3) took the loss Friday against Arizona, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

Snell continued to look rusty -- he last gave up nine hits in a June 16, 2021 start in Colorado. The 31-year-old lefty has struggled tremendously out of the gate, generating an 11.57 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB in 11.2 innings. Snell will look to get back on track in his next start, slated to come against the Mets at home.

Tatis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Tatis smashed a 390-foot home run to left field in the third inning to account for San Diego's lone run on the evening. The Padres right fielder has preferred hitting at home so far as five of his six homers have come in Petco Park. Tatis has enjoyed a solid start to his season, producing a .289/.379/.530 slash line over 95 plate appearances.

Waldron (0-2) took the loss Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over 4.2 innings against Toronto. He struck out two.

After allowing a first inning solo homer to Justin Turner, Waldron ran into trouble in the second. The Blue Jays kept putting the ball in play, collecting five hits and four runs off the Padres starter in the frame. Waldron has a 4.74 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over his first 19 innings this season. His next start is scheduled to come on the road against Colorado.

Gibson yielded a run on three hits and four walks over six innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out three in the loss to Milwaukee.

Gibson was tagged with a run in the third inning but otherwise didn't face much trouble in the quality start. He was in line for a tough-luck loss before the Cardinals pushed the game to extra innings. After earning a win in his Cardinals debut, Gibson was hammered for 11 runs over his next two starts. Friday's outing lowered his ERA to 5.04 with a 14:10 K:BB through 25 frames. Gibson is currently projected to face Arizona at home next week.

Peralta allowed four hits and two walks over six scoreless frames in a no-decision Friday. He struck out seven in the win over St. Louis.

Peralta was in line for his third win of the year before the Cardinals tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 27-year-old has been terrific to begin the 2024 campaign, registering a 1.90 ERA with a 33:4 K:BB over 23.2 frames. He's forced double-digit whiffs in each of his four starts this season, including 13 on Friday. Peralta is lined up to start in Pittsburgh next week.

Milner walked one and struck out two batters in one inning Friday. He earned a save against the Cardinals.

Milner took the mound with a 2-1 lead in the 10th inning and finished off the contest despite having runners at first and third. It was the 33-year-old's first career MLB save. He's produced a 7:3 K:BB with a 4.15 ERA through 8.2 innings this season. Milner still appears to be outside the Brewers' main closer committee at this time.

Payamps (1-1) recorded one out and walked one batter Friday. He earned a win over the Cardinals after blowing a save chance.

Payamps entered the ninth inning with two runners on in a 1-0 game. After plunking Ivan Herrera to load the bases, he walked Brendan Donovan to let the tying run score. The Brewers would go on to win in the 10th inning, giving Payamps his first win of 2024. He's sporting a 4.70 ERA with a 6:1 K:BB through 7.2 innings.
