Robert Gsellman - S - Mets

Robert Gsellman held the Marlins to three runs on eight hits over five innings in a win Saturday.

Gsellman still wasn't at his best, allowing a pair of homers among the Marlins' eight hits, but he battled to pick up his second consecutive win. It's been a struggle for the 23-year-old in the early weeks, as he owns a 6.54 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 31 2/3 innings of work. Things don't get much easier for Gsellman his next time out, when he's set to take on the Brewers on Friday.

A.J. Cole - S - Nationals

A.J. Cole yielded just one run in six innings to beat the Phillies 6-2 on Saturday.

He allowed six hits and four walks while fanning two batters in his first game of the season. He was called up to replace Joe Ross on the Nationals' roster, and was tasked with making a spot start today. Today's success was a bit surprising considering he had a 6.63 ERA in four starts at Triple-A Syracuse. Cole had a 5.17 ERA with the Nationals last year in eight starts. The 25-year-old will try to repeat today's success if he gets another start.

Starlin Castro - 2B - Yankees

Starlin Castro had a big night against his former club, finishing 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in an 11-6 win over the Cubs.

Castro had an RBI double in the Yankees' five-run first inning before smacking a two-run homer in the fourth. The homer was his sixth of the year. Castro has a ridiculous nine-game hitting streak during which he's 18-for-39 (.462), with seven of those nine games featuring multiple hits. The 27-year-old leads the American League with his .381 batting average, and he also ranks among the league leaders in runs (20), slugging percentage (.584) and OPS (1.006).

Brett Anderson - S - Cubs

Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Brett Anderson (back) is likely headed to the disabled list.

Anderson tweaked his back while fielding a bunt by Aaron Hicks on Saturday. The left-hander stayed in to face five more batters but allowed hits to four of them and eventually called for a trainer. Anderson has a long history of back trouble and hasn't looked right all year (8.18 ERA over six starts). Eddie Butler and Mike Montgomery are the top candidates to take over Anderson's soon-to-be-vacant spot in the starting rotation.

Daniel Murphy - 2B - Nationals

Daniel Murphy went 3-for-4 and scored two runs against the Phillies on Saturday.

He singled twice and doubled once in the ballgame. He was driven in by the white-hot Ryan Zimmerman on both runs. Murphy is now batting .341/.382/.561 with five homers, 19 runs and 28 RBI. He is proving that his breakout 2016 season was not just a fluke.
May 6 - 11:19 PM
Miguel Montero - C - Cubs

Miguel Montero walked two but didn't allow a run in an inning of relief during Saturday's blowout loss to the Yankees.

Montero was the best pitcher the Cubs used Saturday, as the other three allowed a combined 11 runs and 14 hits. The 33-year-old backstop is now one of the best relief options in the Cubs' bullpen, in fact. Manager Joe Maddon will likely opt to keep him as the team's backup catcher instead.
May 6 - 11:17 PM
Gary Sanchez - C - Yankees

Gary Sanchez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in a win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Sanchez had a pair of singles in his second game since being activated from the disabled list. He has just five hits in his seven games this year, sandwiched around a strained right biceps that cost him almost a month. Once he knocks the rust off, the 24-year-old should continue to be one of the top-hitting catchers in the game.
May 6 - 11:14 PM
Anthony Rendon - 3B - Nationals

Anthony Rendon smashed a three-run bomb in Saturday's big win over the Phillies.

He whacked a Vince Velasquez offering over the left field wall in the sixth inning with two aboard. Rendon has really turned his season around in the last week. He is now batting .290/.372/.477 with five homers and 22 RBI in 121 plate appearances.
