The out was his loudest batted ball; he sent Johan Rojas to the wall in center field in a one-run game in the ninth, but Rojas made the catch and had the wind knocked out of him for his trouble. It still went as Gurriel’s first three-hit game of the season, pushing his average back over .200 for the first time in four weeks.

He started warming up for the sixth before calling it a day. This appeared to be latest in a string of cramping issues that have occasional cut shorts start for Kelly. If that’s the case, he should be fine to make his next start against the Mets.

Thompson came into a chaotic situation after Justin Martinez allowed a solo home run and walked back-to-back batters before being pulled without recording an out. He threw just five of his 14 pitches for strikes and his average fastball velocity was down from 100 mph to 96 mph. While that’s all very troubling, Thompson got the call to nail down the save and got some clutch outs. Him, Kevin Ginkel, and Shelby Miller would be in the mix for save chances if something is wrong with Martinez.

The Diamondbacks were mostly stifled by Brandon Waddell and the Mets’ bullpen in this one as Gurriel was the only member of their lineup to tally multiple hits. His ninth inning double set Arizona up to score some valuable insurance runs that proved vital after the Mets rallied in response, but fell just short. Still, Gurriel and his .181 batting average has put him in danger of losing his starting job.

The Cardinals had no answers for Nimmo in this one, as he reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances and sprayed the ball all over the park. His fifth inning single was right in the middle of the Mets’ rally that chased Sonny Gray from this game and his seventh inning homer was merely icing on the cake. It had been a trying season for Nimmo, until this week. It started with a four hit, two home run, nine RBI game and then this three hit, two walk performance. In just four games, he’s gone from a .575 OPS to a .720 OPS.

In a game that was tied at 1-1 in the ninth, Greene hit a solo blast to give the Tigers a lead. Later that inning, he clobbered a three-run blast to up that score to 9-1. Baseball is weird. Greene has homered eight times in 2025 with a slugging percentage of .504. He’s one of the most underrated young hitting stars in the sport.

Kepler gave Philadelphia a lead of 6-2 with a solo homer off an ineffective Jake Irvin. The 32-year-old has been solid — if unspectacular — in his first full month with the Phillies, but it’s nice to see some power showing up with homers in two of the last four games after just one roundtripper in the month of April prior to that run.
