The well-traveled 30-year-old finally produced the game’s first run as he crushed a full-count offering from Ranger Suárez for a 390-foot (103.5 mph EV) solo shot in the eighth inning that proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Hummel also singled in the ballgame, accounting for two of the Astros’ five total hits. With his 2-for-3 night, he’s now hitting .222/.364/.556 with a pair of homers and three RBI in his limited big league action this season.

The flame-throwing left-hander struck out Otto Kemp to begin the inning before plunking Edmundo Sosa to put the tying run on base. Not to worry though, as he got Buddy Kennedy to pop out to first base and then punched out J.T. Realmuto to end it. Hader picked up his 20th save of the season for his efforts and he has yet to blow a single save opportunity this season while registering a brilliant 1.78 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and a 55/7 K/BB ratio over 35 1/3 innings.

Valdez walked four batters in the ballgame while striking out three. He and Phillies’ left-hander Ranger Suárez traded zeroes through each of the first seven frames, which is why the 31-year-old southpaw came up empty-handed despite his brilliant effort. He got just three whiffs on 92 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 24 percent. Through 16 starts on the season, Valdez has compiled a terrific 2.88 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 102/37 K/BB ratio across 103 innings. He’ll do battle against the Cubs his next time out at home on Sunday.

It’s an encouraging sign that Alvarez has resumed hitting after seemingly being stuck in a holding pattern waiting for a small fracture in his right hand. The 27-year-old fantasy stalwart has been on the injured list since early May and remains without an official return timetable. At this juncture, fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until some point in early July, barring any setbacks.

Ohtani collected his 27th homer of the season on Tuesday, taking Ryan Rolison deep for a two-run shot in the sixth inning. The 30-year-old two-way star is slashing .289/.387/.627 with 77 runs scored, 51 RBI, and 11 steals to go with his 27 homers over 364 plate appearances.

Steer had the middle of three singles as the Reds scored twice to win the game in the 11th. Gavin Lux delivered the actual game-winner off the bench. Steer has 12 hits in his last seven games, and his current .660 OPS is his high mark of the season. He’s still not hitting the ball hard enough to inspire much confidence — his xwOBA has actually been trending downwards — but at least he’s settling playing time concerns that could have arisen with Austin Hays nearly ready to come off the IL and Noelvi Marte not too far behind.

Nothing official since Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters he’s leaving it “open-ended” for when Ohtani will make his next pitching appearance. He did take a moment while speaking to reporters to shoot down the idea of Ohtani pitching in next month’s All-Star Game. The 30-year-old two-way superstar struck out a pair of batters in a scoreless frame on Sunday against the Nationals.
