This is not the second straight game with a grand slam for Kayfus, who now has nine home runs and 31 RBI in Triple-A. Perhaps more importantly, the left-handed hitter is hitting .255/.349/.509 against left-handed pitching this year. He’s racing teammate Chase DeLauter to be the next outfielder called up to the big leagues. Kayfus also plays first base, but that’s likely more of a 2026 destination for him with Carlos Santana and Kyle Manzardo in town this year.

All three runs scored in a third inning that opened with a soft flyball single and featured two HBPs, three Kyle Manzardo errors and a wild pitch. Outside of that inning, Bibee allowed just one hit and no walks. Bibee fell to 1-6 over his last nine starts, even though he has a 3.49 ERA and a 54/10 K/BB over that span. He’s set to face the Cubs next.

And that’s why he usually DHs. All three errors came in the third. First, he mishandled a sac bunt attempt, allowing the batter to reach. He then got a double-error after dropping a pickoff attempt at first and making a wild throw home that Bo Naylor didn’t even know was coming. Manzardo finished 1-for-3 at the plate, leaving him 6-for-17 with a homer over his last five games. He’ll almost surely DH tomorrow against Sonny Gray and the Cardinals.

Santana had a terrific final two weeks of May, but that’s really the only thing keeping his stat line afloat. He’s come in at .169/.220/.260 with an unusually poor 20/5 K/BB ratio in 82 plate appearances this month. He had a 37/30 K/BB in 220 plate appearances over the first two months.
