Michael King SP | SD
Padres' Michael King: Yields four runs in no-decision
King gave up four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.
Three of the four runs on his line came on a pair of home runs, making this the first time King has allowed multiple homers in a game since June 10 versus the Reds. He ended up allowing just nine runs over 29 innings with a 26:11 K:BB across his five starts in July. The right-hander has a 3.38 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 109:50 K:BB through 125.1 innings over 22 starts this season. King is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants, though he is a trade candidate.

He's batting .256 with an .819 OPS, 11 homers, 25 RBI, 33 runs scored, 14 doubles and one stolen base over 65 contests and continues to occupy a steady spot in the lineup.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Surrenders four runs in loss
Roupp (7-9) allowed four runs on four hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out one over 3.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Brewers.
Roupp was fine the first time through the order, but he ran into trouble in the third and fourth innings. The right-hander still pitched better in July than he did in June, allowing seven runs over 24.2 innings with a 15:8 K:BB this month. On the year, he has a 4.12 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 114:48 K:BB through 21 starts. Roupp's next start is projected to be at San Diego over the weekend.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Three hits in Tuesday's win
Turang went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
This was Turang's first multi-RBI game since the All-Star break. He has gone 11-for-37 (.297) with three extra-base hits in his last 11 contests, though he hasn't logged a steal since July 9 versus the Cardinals.

Luis Lara RF | MIL
Brewers' Luis Lara: Drives in three in win
Lara went 1-for-4 with a triple, a walk, three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
Lara did a bit of everything in this contest, including showing off some speed. He's gotten on base multiple times in three of his last four games. Through his first 15 major-league games, the outfield prospect is batting .289 with four doubles, one triple, 10 RBI, six runs scored and two steals. He's still looking for his first home run, but he profiled as more of a contact hitter during his time in the minors. Lara is likely to see more time in right field while Jake Bauers is managing pain from a toe fracture.

Logan Henderson SP | MIL
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Fans seven in win
Henderson (5-1) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.
Henderson has allowed just six runs over 21 innings with a 24:3 K:BB over four starts since he returned from a back strain. Hew threw 64 of 93 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his second scoreless performance of the year. The right-hander has a 2.66 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 54:9 K:BB through 44 innings over nine starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Pirates.

Dalton Rushing C | LAD
Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Supplies three hits
Rushing went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.
After an 0-for-19 skid over nine games between July 7-21, Rushing has gone 7-for-17 (.412) over his last five contests. The catcher still has some runway as the Dodgers' starter behind the dish, as Will Smith (neck) is just starting to resume baseball activities. Rushing is batting .256 with an .813 OPS, 11 home runs, 33 RBI, 35 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases over 71 games this season.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Clubs homer, logs steal
Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.
Muncy had gone 0-for-7 with a walk and five strikeouts over his previous two games. He bounced back in this contest, swatting a fifth-inning homer before adding a steal as the Dodgers rallied in the ninth. The third baseman has 21 homers on the season, including four over nine contests since the All-Star break. He's batting .256 with an .858 OPS, 49 RBI, 59 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and two steals over 98 games.

Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD
Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Starring role on offense in loss
Ohtani went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and three total RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.
Ohtani had been a little quiet lately, going nine games without a homer after the All-Star break. He changed that tune early Tuesday with a solo shot off Luis Castillo to lead off the Dodgers' half of the first inning. Ohtani is now batting .286 with a .924 OPS, 23 homers, 64 RBI, 67 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 102 contests. He's still battling a knee injury that is keeping him off the mound, and it's safe to assume he won't be pushing too hard with speed while the knee is a concern.
