Lee went 2-for-3 with a double and a three-run home run in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Angels.

The outfielder capped a five-run third inning when he lofted a first-pitch sweeper from Ryan Johnson over the right-field wall. It was Lee's sixth homer of the season and his first since June 23, snapping a 25-game drought in which he's managed just a .514 OPS with seven RBI and 10 runs. Despite the month-long slump, Lee still carries a .302/.336/.435 slash line through 361 plate appearances in 2026.

Ray (9-6) picked up the win Saturday, allowing six hits and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 9-2 victory over the Angels. He struck out five.

The veteran southpaw tossed 54 of 80 pitches for strikes en route to his eighth quality start of the season. Ray could be on the move at the trade deadline, and he's doing what he can to improve the return the Giants might get for him -- over his last seven starts he's held the opposition to one earned run or fewer six times, posting a 1.04 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 35:20 K:BB in 43.1 innings while serving up just one home run. Ray will look to stay locked in during his next outing, which currently lines up to come on the road next week in San Diego.

Johnson (2-5) took the loss Saturday, coughing up eight runs on eight hits and a walk over 3.1 innings as the Angels were downed 9-2 by the Giants. He struck out four.

San Francisco reeled off six straight hits in the third inning to get the rout rolling, capped by a three-run homer from Jung Hoo Lee. Johnson had given up just seven earned runs total over his prior five outings, but Saturday's disaster undid all the progress he'd made in getting his ratios under control. The 23-year-old right-hander will take a 7.34 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB over 41.2 innings into his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Bednar secured the save Saturday against Philadelphia, throwing a clean ninth inning.

Bednar pushed his scoreless streak up to 23.2 innings Saturday. The 31-year-old right-hander last blew a save during his May 17 outing against the Mets, successfully converting each of his last 10 save opportunities. Through 44.2 innings on the year, Bednar sports a 2.42 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB with 20 saves in 22 attempts.

Keller took a no-decision Saturday against the Yankees, allowing one run on two hits and no walks in three innings. He struck out three.

Making his major-league debut, Keller fared well on the bump while acting as a long reliever Saturday. Austin Wells tagged the 32-year-old right-hander for a solo home run in the third inning, but Keller was impressive otherwise against a formidable Yankees lineup. Philadelphia has had a hard time finding stability out of their fifth rotation spot since sending Andrew Painter down to the minors for seasoning, but Keller is tentatively lined up to take the ball next in Baltimore for now.

Weathers (4-7) earned the win Saturday against Philadelphia, allowing one run on six hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Weathers held an imposing Phillies lineup in check Saturday, keeping the ball in the park while inducing six groundouts on the evening. The left-hander is still searching for some consistency -- he's given up at least four runs in half of his last 12 outings while yielding two runs or fewer in the other half. Weathers will take a 4.25 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 122:30 K:BB over 108 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the White Sox.

Baker secured the save Saturday against Cleveland, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning.

Baker extended his scoreless streak to eight innings Saturday. Additionally, the right-hander last failed to convert a save chance during his May 13 outing in Toronto, which is a stretch of 22 outings without a blown save. Through 39.1 innings in 2026, Baker boasts a 1.60 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB with 27 saves in 30 opportunities.

Manager Aaron Boone said Bellinger suffered a left hamstring injury in Saturday's win over the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Bellinger will undergo further testing after he was injured legging out a double in the top of the eighth inning Saturday. At the time of his departure, Bellinger was 2-for-4 with the double and one RBI. He's currently on a six-game hitting streak and has recorded at least one base knock in 11 of his past 12 contests. Bellinger has a .770 OPS with 11 homers and 53 RBI on the season.

Martinez (10-2) earned the win Saturday against Cleveland, allowing no runs on four hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out five.

It was a brilliant performance by Martinez, who scattered four singles across six shutout frames Saturday. The veteran right-hander is on an excellent run on the hill, either turning in a quality start or working at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer in each of his past six appearances. Martinez will take a career-best 2.45 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 67:20 K:BB over 117.1 frames into his next scheduled outing against the White Sox.

Bibee (4-10) took the loss Saturday against Tampa Bay, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.

Bibee appeared to wear down as the outing went on Saturday, giving up each of his three runs across the fifth and sixth frames. Despite yielding his second-most hits of the year, the right-hander still managed to hold on for his third consecutive quality start and eighth in his last 10 outings. Bibee will carry a respectable 3.89 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 97:37 K:BB over 125 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Arizona.
