  • Foster Griffin SP | CLE

    Nationals' Foster Griffin: Fans eight in no-decision

    Griffin did not factor into Sunday's decision against the White Sox. He allowed two hits and two walks while striking out eight across seven scoreless innings.

    Griffin set the tone early by striking out the side in the first inning after yielding a single. He allowed just three more baserunners over the next six frames, but he was unable to come away with the win as neither team scored until extra innings. For Griffin, it was his second-straight quality start and the fourth time this season that he gave up two earned runs or less. He has a 3-0 record through six starts with a 2.67 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 33.2 innings in 2026. Griffin is slated to make his next start next weekend at home against the Brewers.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Blasts three-run homer Sunday

    Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 victory over the Marlins.

    Schmitt played a key role in Sunday's win, as his three-run homer in the seventh inning gave the Giants a lead they would not relinquish. It marked his second homer in as many days after also going deep Saturday. The 27-year-old has emerged as one of the most consistent hitters in San Francisco's lineup to open 2026, slashing .296/.348/.543 with four homers, eight doubles, 13 RBI and 10 runs across 22 games.

  • Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Tallies four hits in win

    Lee went 4-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-3 victory over the Marlins.

    Lee's hot stretch continued, as he has now recorded multiple hits in three consecutive games following Sunday's four-hit effort. After an extremely cold start to the season, the outfielder has stepped it up significantly of late, slashing .439/.467/.667 with two homers, five RBI and 10 runs over his past 15 games. Lee has primarily hit sixth this season but moved into the leadoff spot with Willy Adames getting the day off to close the series.

  • Erik Miller RP | BOS

    Giants' Erik Miller: Earns second save Sunday

    Miller picked up the save Sunday against the Marlins. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over 1.1 perfect innings.

    Miller was called upon with two outs in the eighth inning and delivered a clean outing, retiring all four batters he faced to secure the victory for the Giants. It marked the southpaw's second save of the season, trailing only Ryan Walker, who leads the team with three saves, as manager Tony Vitello has deployed a closer-by-committee approach. Miller has now strung together seven consecutive scoreless outings and owns a 3.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with a 16:6 K:BB across 10.1 innings in 2026.

  • Max Meyer SP | MIA

    Marlins' Max Meyer: Logs five frames in no-decision

    Meyer did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one unearned run on four hits and a walk over five innings against the Giants. He struck out five.

    Meyer was solid, not allowing an earned run, but had to settle for a no-decision as the Marlins pulled him at 77 pitches and the bullpen allowed five runs between the sixth and seventh innings. Miami has carefully managed the 27-year-old's workload, as he has not worked beyond 5.1 innings in a start this season, though he has generally been effective when on the mound. Through 30 innings (six starts), Meyer owns a 3.30 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with a 1-0 record and a 33:12 K:BB.

  • Landen Roupp SP | SF

    Giants' Landen Roupp: Delivers 7.2 innings in fifth win

    Roupp (5-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks over 7.2 innings against the Marlins. He struck out six.

    Roupp's strong start to 2026 continued, as he worked past a Graham Pauley three-run homer in the second inning to log a career high in innings for a single game and pick up his fifth win. After issuing five free passes in his previous start against the Dodgers, Roupp allowed just two walks Sunday. Through 35.1 innings (six starts) this season, the 27-year-old owns a 2.55 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with a 37:14 K:BB and is tentatively scheduled to next pitch Saturday against the Rays.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Fans six in six strong innings

    McGreevy took a no-decision Sunday against the Mariners, allowing one run on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out six.

    The right-hander put together one of his best starts on the young season, fanning a season-high six while matching a season high in innings. McGreevy has provided fairly consistent length for the Cardinals as well, firing at least five frames in all but one of his first six starts in 2026. He boasts a 2.97 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB across 33.1 innings so far, but a daunting task versus the Dodgers awaits McGreevy in his next scheduled outing.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CLE

    Reds' Nathaniel Lowe: Smacks another homer Sunday

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Reds' 8-3 loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

    Lowe put the Reds on the board in the second inning with a solo long shot of Keider Montero. Lowe is up to four home runs on the season, all of which have come over his last three outings. He is slashing .256/.333/.605 with 10 RBI and six runs scored across 48 plate appearances this season.

  • Pirates' Carmen Mlodzinski: Struggles again in short outing

    Mlodzinski (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Brewers, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and one walk in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Following a pair of scoreless outings in his April 10 and April 15 appearances, Mlodzinski has faltered in each of his past two starts. The right-hander has now coughed up at least four runs in back-to-back outings, failing to work at least five frames in both. While Mlodzinski sports a strong 30:11 K:BB through 28.1 frames so far, his 4.13 ERA and 1.45 WHIP make him tough to trust in his next scheduled start versus the division-rival Reds.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | MIL

    Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Career-high 12 Ks in win

    Harrison (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in six innings. He struck out 12.

    The left-hander was magnificent Sunday, recording an astounding 23 whiffs en route to fanning a career-high 12. After he didn't reach the 80-pitch marker in either of his prior two starts, it was also encouraging to see Harrison throw a season-high 101 pitches in his first scoreless outing of the year. Harrison is next set to take a stellar 2.28 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB over 23.2 innings into a favorable matchup against Washington.
