Estrada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Despite the Giants' recent struggles on offense, Estrada has gone 22-for-78 (.282) with three homers, seven RBI and three stolen bases over 20 games in September, and the second baseman padded the lead with a sixth-inning solo shot Friday. He's up to 13 long balls, 48 RBI, 62 runs scored, 22 stolen bases and a .276/.320/.425 slash line through 112 contests this season.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Yastrzemski's fourth-inning blast proved to be all the Giants needed in this contest. Prior to Friday, he was in a 2-for-23 slump over his previous eight games. The outfielder is at 15 homers, 43 RBI, 54 runs scored, two stolen bases, 23 doubles and a .245/.335/.468 slash line through 98 games this season. He continues to be one of the Giants' few full-time staters when healthy.

Doval struck out two over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Friday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Doval cleaned up Tyler Rogers' mess in the eighth inning, and Tyler Fitzgerald provided some extra cushion with a two-run home run in the ninth. This was Doval's first save since Sept. 10 and his first chance in a week. The right-hander is now at a 3.03 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 85:26 K:BB through 65.1 innings while collecting 38 saves in 46 chances this season.

Manaea (7-6) allowed three hits and struck out two without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Manaea was at his best, throwing 61 of 85 pitches for strikes in an efficient start against a dangerous offense. It was just his second quality start of the year, as he's often been used behind an opener. The southpaw has given up just eight runs (six earned) over 21 innings across four games in September. He's at a 4.51 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 120:42 K:BB through 111.2 innings over 36 appearances (nine starts) this year. Manaea is projected for a home outing against the Padres next week, which would likely be his last appearance of the regular season.

Stone (1-1) took the loss Friday as the Dodgers fell 5-1 to the Giants, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings of relief.

He worked behind opener Caleb Ferguson, who pitched a scoreless inning. Stone ended up getting tagged for home runs by Mike Yastrzemski and Thairo Estrada, accounting for all three runs on his line. Friday marked the third time in Stone's last four outings that he has given up multiple home runs. He's now sitting on a 9.00 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 22:13 K:BB through 31 innings over eight appearances (four starts) for the season.

Palacios went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Padres.

Palacios has gone 3-for-10 with two RBI and three walks over his last four games. He continues to fill in for Tyler O'Neill (foot) in left field, allowing Palacios to see steady playing time. For the season, Palacios is slashing .266/.319/.531 with five home runs, 11 RBI, two steals and five runs scored through 70 plate appearances.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Padres.

Edman entered Friday just 4-for-38 with one RBI over his previous nine games. The theft was his 25th of the year in 28 attempts, though it was also his first since Sept. 8. The utility man is up to a .241/.299/.390 slash line with 12 home runs, 46 RBI, 62 runs scored, 23 doubles and four triples through 129 contests. He should close out the year as the Cardinals' main second baseman with Nolan Gorman (hamstring) uncertain to return from the injured list.

Winn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Padres.

Winn tied the game at 1-1 with his sixth-inning blast. The shortstop continues to struggle at the major-league level -- he's gone just 7-for-31 (.226) over his last 10 games, though that's an improvement on his .173 batting average for the season. Winn has a .474 OPS, two homers, six RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases through 29 contests.

Liberatore (3-6) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Friday versus the Padres.

The young lefty surrendered a two-run home run to Manny Machado in the eighth inning, ending Liberatore's eight-inning scoreless streak. He has a 5.52 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 44:24 K:BB through 58.2 innings across 19 outings (11 starts) this season.

Hudson allowed two runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres.

Hudson threw 52 of 84 pitches for strikes and uncorked two wild pitches, but he avoided significant damage despite the heavy traffic he put on the bases. He's posted quality starts in two of his five outings in September and has given up just two home runs over 27.1 innings on the month. For the season, Hudson has a 4.95 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 42:31 K:BB through 76.1 innings over 17 appearances (11 starts). He's lined up for a road outing in Milwaukee next week to wrap up his season.
