Brayan Bello Strikes Out Six In Win

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello spun six innings of one-run ball in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Orioles, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out six on his way to picking up his 11th win of the season. It was Bello's third quality start in his last four outings and ninth overall in 23 starts. The 25-year-old is now 11-5 with a 4.80 ERA (3.75 xFIP), 1.41 WHIP, and a 13.5% K-BB%. He'll get the Diamondbacks at home in his next turn through the rotation.

Dairon Blanco Homers Twice, Tallies Seven RBI

Kansas City Royals outfielder Dairon Blanco got a rare start on Saturday and made the most of it, homering twice and driving in seven runs during a 3-for-5 day at the plate in a 13-1 romp over the Reds. Blanco typically appears as a pinch-runner, and although he did not record a steal in Saturday's game, the speedster has 21 stolen bases on the season despite having just 111 plate appearances. If this performance somehow earns Blanco more playing time, he would quickly become an intriguing fantasy asset, as he easily has the highest stolen-bases-per-plate-appearances ratio of any player with at least 25 plate appearances using his 97th-percentile sprint speed.

Marcell Ozuna Homers, Drives In Three On Saturday

Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna went a perfect 3-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Angels. The 33-year-old also drove in three runs and scored three times in a productive day at the plate. It was his second consecutive three-hit game and the home run was his 35th of the season, just two behind Shohei Ohtani for the N.L. lead. Now with 90 RBI, the veteran is the N.L. league leader in that category. The 3x All-Star is slashing .307/.379/.590 on the year with a .409 wOBA and 164 wRC+.

Michael Harris II Collects Three Hits On Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 victory over the Angels. Harris hit leadoff for the Braves and has collected a hit in each of the four games he's played since coming off of the IL, going 6-for-19 (.316) with a double, a home run, six RBI, and three runs scored. On the downside, the 23-year-old has yet to draw a walk in any of those four games and has struck out six times. Still, he's technically riding a nine-game hit streak that extends back prior to hitting the IL and he'll likely continue to hit out of the leadoff spot at least until Jorge Soler returns.

Chris Sale Strikes Out 10 On Way To 14th Win

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale struck out 10 batters over six innings of work in Saturday's 11-3 victory over the Angels. The 35-year-old allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks, logging a quality start and striking out double-digit batters for the third consecutive start. The 8x All-Star's renaissance season continues as he's now tied with the Tigers' Tarik Skubal for the most wins in all of baseball with 14, and he now owns a 2.62 ERA (2.06 FIP), 1.00 WHIP, and an elite 27.9% K-BB%. The southpaw will take on the Nationals at home in his next start.
