Take a bow, Mr. Wynns. It was a tremendous offensive day for the backup catcher, but he starts only two games a week right now and will be sent back to the minors when Tyler Stephenson returns, so we would not chase this in fantasy leagues of any size.

Petty gave up six hits, walked six and struck out four. His ERA is up to 21.94 after two starts. While Petty posses strikeout upside based on his Triple-A performance, he’s not getting enough outs in general for it to matter at the big league level right now. He’s best left on fantasy benches until he figures it out. Petty is lined up to face the Guardians at home next weekend if he remains in the rotation.

The Reds scored 10 runs in the first and then held on for dear life as the Astros did their best to come back. The five times on base raised Friedl’s OBP to .360, and he’s scored 23 runs in 38 games. He’ll be a fine choice in mixed leagues next week with the Reds home for six games against the White Sox and Guardians.

A stunning outing from Singer, who had been nothing but solid through six weeks with the Reds. He hadn’t allowed more than three earned runs in any of his seven starts coming into this one. The Astros got to him for nine hits, with six of those coming in the six-run third inning. It cost Singer what should have been the easiest win of his life, and his ERA jumped from 3.66 to 4.97. He’ll face the Guardians next.

The 28-year-old backstop finally got the Snakes on the board with a run-scoring double off of Ben Casparius in the seventh inning, pulling them to within four runs at 5-1. That would be as close as they would get. On the season, he’s now slashing .205/.286/.341 with a homer and five RBI in his first 52 plate appearances.

The 27-year-old backstop hit a sacrifice fly off of Tyler Anderson in the fifth inning that tied the game at 2-2. He then plated a run with a sacrifice bunt during the O’s three-run uprising in the sixth inning. He’s just 1-for-9 (.111) since joining the Orioles at the end of April, but at least he now has a couple of RBI to his credit.

A nice send off for Bud Black, who was let go after the game. Goodman’s homer was his first since Apr. 28, and the triple was his first since 2023. The double, though, might have been the most interesting of his hits. His line drive on Wandy Peralta left the bat at 116.2 mph, a new career high for him by 1.5 mph. It seems like a good sign for his future. However, with six road games coming up, this isn’t the time to pick up Goodman in fantasy leagues.
