It wasn’t the smoothest of innings, as Otto Lopez reached with one out on an error by Alec Bohm and Eric Wagaman poked a two-out single into right field, but the 24-year-old right-hander fought back and got Dane Myers to pop out to end the ballgame. He picked up the first save of his big league career in Monday’s series opener against the Marlins, then came through again in a big way on Thursday. It’s hard to trust anyone in manager Rob Thomson’s bullpen, but for the time being at least, Kerkering looks like the best option for saves and should be started in all mixed leagues.

Schwarber broke a 1-1 deadlock as he clobbered a 1-0 sinker from Anthony Bender for a majestic 428-foot (114.8 mph EV) solo shot in the eighth inning. That would prove to be the difference in the ballgame. The 32-year-old slugger finished the evening 1-for-3 plus a walk and is now hitting .241/.373/.533 with 23 homers and 54 RBI on the season.

Stott singled with two outs in the second inning, but was then cut down attempting to steal second base. He then drew a walk in the fifth inning before plating the game-tying run with a fielder’s choice in the seventh. Stott also reached on an infield single in the ninth inning. With his two-hit attack, the 27-year-old second baseman is now hitting .242/.309/.344 with five homers, 31 RBI and 12 swipes on the season.

The 28-year-old southpaw struck out four batters on the evening and did not allow a base on balls. The only damage done against him came in the fifth inning as Dane Myers smacked a leadoff double, took third on a ground out and scored on a two-out infield single off the bat of Nick Fortes. Sanchez dominated the remainder of the night. He got 11 whiffs on 91 pitches in the ballgame — 10 of them on his changeup — while posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. He’ll look to replicate this impressive performance when he carries a 2.87 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 92/28 K/BB ratio (87 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s battle against the Astros in Houston.
