Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Two-run shot in loss

1h ago

Winn went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

Winn singled in his third trip to the plate before later adding a two-run blast in the top of the seventh to put the Cardinals on top 3-2. It marked the shortstop's third home run in his last seven games and he's now hit safely in four straight. Over the former stretch, Winn is slashing .296 (8-for-27) with six RBI and four runs scored. He's also posted seven multi-hit performances over his last 16 contests.

Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Homer, three hits in loss

1h ago

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a double and a home run and two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

Goldschmidt took Shota Imanaga deep for a solo homer in the opening frame to give the Cardinals an early lead and went on to add two more knocks on the night to give him just his third game this season with three or more hits. The first baseman has now recorded multiple hits in six of his last 10 contests, going 14-for-39 (.435) over that stretch with three homers, four RBI and seven runs scored. Goldschmidt has also scored at least one run in five consecutive games.

Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Allows 10 hits in no-decision

2h ago

Imanaga did not factor into the decision in a win over the Cardinals on Thursday, allowing four runs on 10 hits over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Imanaga coughed a solo homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the opening frame before settling in and holding the Cardinals scoreless over the next five innings. However, he began to unravel in the seventh, allowing a one-out single, followed by a two-run shot off the bat of Masyn Winn as St. Louis jumped out in front. The lefty was then relieved by Jorge Lopez with two outs in the frame and went on to be charged with a fourth run, marking the first time he's surrendered more than three runs in his last six starts. Imanaga gave up 10 hits on the night, the second most he's allowed in a game this season, and served up multiple home runs for only the fourth time on the campaign. On a positive note, he hasn't issued a walk in back-to-back outings and hasn't issued multiple walks since June 27 against the Giants (span of five starts).

Cardinals' Sonny Gray: Fans nine over seven frames

2h ago

Gray did not factor into the decision in Thursday's loss to the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out nine.

Gray was efficient during his time on the mound, throwing 19 of his 26 first pitches for strikes while inducing 15 swings and misses. The right-hander allowed one run to come across in the second after allowing three of the first four batters to reach in the frame, and later coughed up a solo homer to Seiya Suzuki in the sixth. It actually marked the first time in Gray's last six starts that he didn't allow at least three runs, as he had surrendered five runs in each of his previous two outings. Gray has also now posted six or more strikeouts in seven consecutive starts.

Braves' Matt Olson: Continues power surge

5h ago

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 victory against the Marlins on Thursday.

Olson hit one of three Atlanta homers, swatting a two-run shot to right field in the first inning. The first baseman has gone deep in two straight games and in four of his past six contests, belting five homers and driving in eight runs during that span. While he's very unlikely to come close to the 54 long balls he racked up last year, Olson has given himself a shot to reach 30 homers for the fourth straight season with his recent power surge, as he's now up to 18 on the campaign.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Struggles with long ball Thursday

5h ago

Meyer (2-1) allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Thursday.

All four runs Meyer allowed came via the long ball, as Austin Riley and Orlando Arcia each hit a solo shot against him and Matt Olson contributed a two-run blast. While he did flash some swing-and-miss stuff with 13 whiffs and seven punchouts, the young right-hander was unable to avoid his first loss of the campaign. Meyer has struggled since returning to Miami's rotation July 27, allowing seven runs and serving up four homers over nine innings across two starts.
