M. Bumgarner - SP

ARI

Madison Bumgarner surrendered five runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings and took the loss Wednesday against the Rockies.

Bumgarner was roughed up in Colorado as the only clean frame he pitched was the fifth. It would be his final inning as he was at 99 pitches. Granted, this one was in Coors Field, but the 31-year-old left-hander has now allowed 11 runs over nine innings through two starts. He’ll face the Athletics in Arizona next week.

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.

B. Nimmo - CF

NYM

Brandon Nimmo went 1-for-3 in a loss in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday against the Rockies.

Nimmo singled twice in the contest after picking up a hit in the first game. In his last seven appearances, he's slashing .520/.571/.640 over 22 plate appearances. Nimmo also leads all of Major League Baseball in batting average at .471, and also has a highly respectable OPS of 1.130, making the 28-year-old a formidable fantasy option.

J. Fuentes - 3B

COL

Josh Fuentes knocked a three run homer to drive the Rockies to a win in game two of Saturday's doubleheader over the Mets.

Fuentes' three-run blast happened in the bottom of the fifth, off of Jacob Barnes. The home run was hit at a distance of 373 feet, winning tacos for those in attendance. This was the 28-year-old's first four RBI game of the year, and second home run of the season. Hopefully this is a sign of better things to come, as he's currently slashing .188/.188/.333.

G. Márquez - SP

COL

German Márquez held the Mets to two runs off two hits over six innings in a win for the Rockies in the second game of a doubleheader.

On a chilly Saturday evening in Colorado, the Rockies ace threw 71 pitches -- 43 of them for strikes. He walked two, and struck out five. This was Márquez’s longest outing of the year to date, his first win of the year, and second career complete game. Márquez also knocked in his first base hit of the year tonight. We’ll see him next on Saturday, where he’ll face the Phillies.

J. Lucchesi - SP

NYM

Joey Lucchesi went three innings while giving up three runs off four hits in game two of Saturday’s doubleheader vs. the Rockies in a loss.

Lucchesi also struck out three in his Mets' starting debut, and walked none. Though he was able to get ten whiffs with his curveball alone, the Rockies were still able to hit him hard, including a 112 mph double off the bat of C.J. Cron that drove in a run. The 27-year-old southpaw had one prior relief outing to Saturday, with two scoreless innings. His ERA after this start sits at 5.40. Lucchesi will face the Nationals on Friday.
