Peña, 27, hit a three-run homer in the ninth, which is a good time to hit one. It’s not quite as impactful when you still trail by five runs, but fantasy managers shouldn’t care. Peña now has three homers, seven RBI and an OPS of .667 through 58 at-bats.

Finally, some genuine signs of life from Diaz. He was just a few feet shy of a two-homer game as his double fell just short of the wall and he scorched each of those hits at least 104 mph off the bat. He’s recorded a hit in seven of his last nine games and over that span took a paltry .404 OPS all the way up to a still very mediocre .597 OPS.

This was not the start Valdez envisioned having against the lowly White Sox. It took him 42 pitches to get through the first two innings where he gave up five hits and two runs in the process. Then it seemed like he was settling in before a two-out rally from the White Sox in the fifth plated two more runs and effectively ended Valdez’s outing. He struggled to spot both his curveball and changeup which made it difficult for him to put hitters away and his sinker velocity was down over a tick. That’s a bit worrisome and should be monitored. His next start is scheduled to come against the Brewers.

Peña is 8-for-17 in four games since moving into the leadoff spot for the Astros. Because of his middling averages and poor walk rates, Peña has never made much sense at the top of the order. This year, though, he does have a respectable eight-percent walk rate that’s more than twice as high as his 2024 mark. He’s also raised his average from .247 to .282 the last four days.

Winn has been playing possessed since he came off the injured list last week. This was his third multi-hit game in his last four contests and he has six extra-base hits in his last seven games. Funny enough, he didn’t have a single extra-base hit in his 13 games before heading to the IL. Also, he hit the hardest ball of his season in this game at 109 mph. If this power surge holds, it would dramatically raise Winn’s ceiling as an every day player who’s been moved to the two-hole in the Cardinals’ lineup.

Neto gave the Angels a 1-0 lead with a solo shot to begin the first off Tarik Skubal. It was the last run Los Angeles would score. Neto has been solid since returning from the injured list with a .908 OPS and four homers in just 13 games.

Betts’ sixth inning blast was both the last run the Dodgers would score and the last one they would need as they clung to a 2-1 lead through the late innings and a lengthy rain delay. He turned on a fastball from Grant Holmes and now has eight hits and nine RBI over his last five games. This could be the beginning of a serious hot streak for Betts.
