Hays jumped on a fifth-inning pitch from Zack Wheeler and hit it 377 feet at 100.3 mph for the only hit and run of the game for the Reds. Hays now has eight home runs and 31 RBI on the season and has been really solid when healthy for Cincinnati. He deserves to be rostered in most league types at this point.

The rookie struck out seven but also walked four on the day while posting just a 49 percent zone rate overall. Burns did get five whiffs on his slider, but he had just a 26 percent zone rate on the pitch, which put a lot of pressure on the four-seam fastball since he only threw six combined changeups and curves. His fastball was located well, but, as has been true in his first two starts, he doesn’t get tons of whiffs on the pitch. He had eight whiffs on 55 total fastballs in this one, with a whopping 16 foul balls. His fastball has below average extension and simply isn’t as elite of a pitch against big league hitters who can handle high velocity. Burns has plenty of talent, but he’s going to need to figure out a new approach to find consistent success against MLB hitters, and it will likely entail using his secondary pitches more. However, his raw stuff should be enough to get through a start against the Rockies next week.

Benson drew a rare start against a left-handed pitcher. He put the only run on the board for the Reds on Saturday, taking Ranger Súarez deep for a solo homer in the fifth inning. It was his seventh of the season. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .240/.301/.450 with 18 runs scored and 24 RBI across 146 plate appearances.

Lodolo kept the Phillies scoreless through four innings before Edmundo Sosa took him deep for a solo homer in the fifth. Alec Bohm then got to him in the sixth, going yard for a go-ahead, two-run homer. Lodolo would complete the sixth with eight strikeouts on the day. The 27-year-old left-hander will take a 3.58 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and a 93/22 K/BB ratio across 100 2/3 innings into a start against the Marlins in Cincinnati on Thursday.

Trout started the game with a solo shot off of Kevin Gausman in the first inning, but he went quiet from there. The 33-year-old has 14 home runs and 32 RBI on the season and is coming off a solid month of June in a revitalized Angels lineup. He remains a must-start player in fantasy leagues.

Bryant told reporters he’ll consult with doctors this week to explore experimental treatment options in an effort to avoid back surgery, which would likely be career-ending. The 33-year-old former NL MVP has been out since early April dealing with lumbar degenerative disease, a chronic condition that will require constant management for the rest of his playing career. At this point, it’s fair to wonder if he’s ever going to play again. We’re hoping that isn’t the case, but he’s not making any sort of progress towards returning this season.
