M. Betts - RF

Mookie Betts went 1-for-4 in Saturday's matchup with the Padres.

These Padres-Dodgers games certainly know drama. Mookie's game-ending diving catch in the ninth robbed Tommy Pham of a possible game-tying RBI hit to seal the win for Los Angeles. Betts also provided some plate production: The hit was a double in the eighth inning. Betts has reached safely in nine of the ten games he's played this season; contributing to a sparkling .920 OPS.

J. Turner - 3B

Justin Turner hit a solo homer in a victory over the Padres on Saturday.

Turner barreled this dinger up off a four-seam fastball from Emilio Pagan to give the Dodgers some insurance and make it a 2-0 game. Turner continues his hot streak at the plate; the 36-year-old is now slashing .500/.533/1.036 in 27 plate appearances across his last seven games, and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Y. Darvish - SP

Yu Darvish pitched seven innings and held the Dodgers to only one run off one hit and two walks in a hard-luck loss on Saturday.

He also struck out nine, using his cornucopia arsenal of pitches. In this hard-luck defeat, Darvish was outdueled by Clayton Kershaw, who didn't allow a run in his six innings of work. The right-hander surrendered a two-out, bases-loaded walk to Kershaw in the fifth inning, but Darvish escaped after with no further damage. The 34-year-old carries a 2.55 ERA and 0.81 WHIP over four starts this season. Thursday is his next scheduled start, an encore performance versus the Dodgers.

C. Kershaw - SP

Clayton Kershaw pitched six shutout innings while giving up only two hits and striking out eight on Saturday in a 2-0 victory over the Padres.

The veteran southpaw especially had his slider working well: it was his most thrown pitch tonight, garnering a 43% CSW (called strikes plus whiffs). Kershaw also helped his own cause in the fifth inning by drawing a bases-loaded walk, the only run allowed by Kershaw’s opponent, Yu Darvish. Coming into tonight, Kershaw carried a 21-7 record with a 2.03 ERA in 40 career starts vs. the Padres. With this win, the 33-year-old now has a 2.19 ERA and 0.97 WHIP after 4 starts. He will continue his quest for excellence in his next start on Friday; he’ll face the Padres once more.

M. Brantley - LF

HOU

Michael Brantley went 2-for-4 with a run scored on Saturday in a win over the Mariners.

Brantley scored not just the only run for the Astros on Saturday, but the only run in the contest for either team. The 33-year-old outfielder has gotten off to a strong start over the first two-plus weeks, and he's slashing .310/.341/.619 to show for it. No, he doesn't provide steals, but Brantley's bat remains tremendously underappreciated in fantasy formats. He can hit.

R. Pressly - RP

HOU

Ryan Pressly fired a scoreless ninth to procure a save on Saturday against the Mariners.

Pressly needed just eight pitches to get the save, and seven of those went for strikes. The 33-year-old gets his first save of the year; a bit of an oddity considering he's the established closer on the Houston roster. It won't be the last, and while he struggled at times during the 2020 campaign, Pressly has the swing-and-miss stuff to be a strong fantasy stopper for the rest of 2021.

C. Flexen - SP

SEA

Chris Flexen allowed just a run in six innings but still took a loss on Saturday to the Astros.

Flexen was both unlucky and had some fortunate in this one. Yes, it's not great luck to give up one run and to pick up a loss, but it's also pretty fortunate to only give up one run when you allow 10 hits -- even if nine of them were singles. Still, Flexen had a solid start, and the 26-year-old right-hander has looked solid so far in his first few turns in the Seattle rotation. He'll look to lower a 3.38 ERA thus far when he faces the Red Sox in Boston on Friday.

Z. Greinke - SP

HOU

Zack Greinke didn't allow a run in eight innings on Saturday to help the Astros to a 1-0 win.

A sensational start from Greinke on Saturday. The 37-year-old right-hander allowed just four hits in his eight innings, and he didn't issue a walk while fanning six. He not only had quality control with 62-of-91 pitches for strikes, but Greinke had command of it, and showed off his underrated athleticism on a nifty double play to end one of the few rallies the Mariners had. Greinke lowers his ERA to 2.81, and has a chance to keep it going against the Angels on Thursday.
