Hayes also had a 106.4-mph liner to left turn into an out and then a double play, because Oneil Cruz just assumed something hit that hard to the outfield was going to drop. Hayes is batting .300 over his last 16 games, though that comes with just two extra-base hits and two walks. He’s at .239/.292/.293 overall.

Falter was replaced after the delay by Braxton Ashcraft, who did a nice job in stranding both runners he inherited. Falter threw just 30 pitches today, so the Pirates have some options in how they use him over the next week. Perhaps they could have him pitch in relief once. He’s scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Mariners, but the Pirates have an off day right before that and can be flexible.

The 29-year-old hurler pitched one inning in his first outing on Friday, allowing one hit (a solo home run) while striking out the other three batters that he faced. Holderman has been sidelined since May 20 due to inflammation in his right thumb. He should only need a handful of outings in the minor leagues before he’s cleared to return to the Pirates’ bullpen.

This game was never in doubt as the Pirates jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and never looked back. Reynolds put the icing on the cake with a three-run home run in the sixth inning and has been scalding hot of late. One of the biggest disappointments through the first half of the season, he may be quickly righting the ship with 10 hits – including four doubles and this home run – in his last five games. He’s approaching a .700 OPS for the first time all season and could have a big second half ahead of him.

Ramírez sat out Friday’s game as a precautionary measure with a bruised right forearm, but he’s right back in there at third base and batting third against Miles Mikolas and the Cardinals on Saturday afternoon in Cleveland. Fantasy managers can breathe a major sigh of relief.

The 26-year-old infielder will add some depth to the Blue Jays’ infield with Alan Roden heading back to Triple-A Buffalo. Wagner has hit just .186 (11-for-59) with zero homers with two homers and one stolen base in his limited action with the big league club this season.

As expected, Suárez rejoined Arizona’s lineup on Friday night following a two-game absence earlier this week after being hit by a pitch on the right hand. The 33-year-old slugger is on pace to threaten the 50-homer threshold for the first time in his career, so it’s undoubtedly a positive to see him avoid serious injury.
