Michael Conforto - OF - Mets

Michael Conforto clubbed two homers and knocked in four runs in Friday’s 7-5 victory over the Athletics.

Conforto launched a two-run homer in the third inning before connecting for another two-run blast in the seventh. It was his third career regular season multi-homer game. All of them have come this season. He also had a multi-homer game in the 2015 World Series. The All-Star outfielder is locked in at the plate once again, batting .289/.406/.570 with 18 homers and 50 RBI through 78 games.

Jeremy Blevins - S - Yankees

Jerry Blevins notched a five-out save Friday against the Athletics.

This was after Mets manager Terry Collins went to Addison Reed with two on and one out in the eighth inning. Reed walked Rajai Davis and gave up an RBI single to Marcus Semien before Collins opted for Blevins against the lefty-swinging Yonder Alonso. Blevins got Yonder Alonso on a foul out before striking out Khris Davis to escape the frame. He then bounced right back with a 1-2-3 ninth inning to finish off his first save of the season. Assuming the Mets trade Reed in the coming days, Blevins could be part of a closer committee in August. Of course, Blevins could also be of interest to contenders.

Steven Matz - S - Mets

Steven Matz surrendered three runs over five innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Friday.

Matz was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning, much to his dismay. The southpaw limited the A’s to one run through the first four innings before giving up two runs in his final frame. He gave up nine hits in all while striking out five and walking none. At the very least, it was an improvement from his last two outings. He’ll bring a 4.67 ERA into a start against the Rockies in Coors Field next week.
Jul 21 - 11:20 PM
Paul Blackburn - S - Athletics

Paul Blackburn took the loss Friday after allowing four runs over 5 1/3 innings against the Mets.

Blackburn gave up two runs through his first five innings of work before running into trouble in the sixth. He walked Asdrubal Cabrera to begin the frame and gave up a one-out single to Yoenis Cespedes before being pulled. Both of them eventually scored on T.J. Rivera’s little league home run. Blackburn owns a 2.88 ERA through his first four starts in the majors, but he has struck out just nine batters in 25 innings.

T.J. Rivera - 3B - Mets

T.J. Rivera went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Friday versus the Athletics.

Rivera put the Mets ahead for good with a ground ball single to center field in the sixth inning. Thanks to an errant throw by rookie third baseman Matt Chapman, it ended up being a little league home run for Rivera. The 28-year-old is batting .294/.336/.438 through 69 games and has carved out a regular role of late.
Jul 21 - 11:19 PM
Marcus Semien - SS - Athletics

Marcus Semien finished 4-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base in Friday’s loss to the Mets.

All four hits were singles. He knocked in runs in the fifth and eighth innings. Coming into Friday’s game, Semien was just 5-for-38 (.132) through his first 10 games since coming off the disabled list. He’s obviously capable of better moving forward
Jul 21 - 11:18 PM
Miguel Cabrera - 1B - Tigers

Miguel Cabrera was forced to leave Friday's game against the Twins after sustaining a bruised collarbone.

Cabrera suffered the injury when a ground ball took a bad hop and came up on him at first base. He was sent for precautionary X-rays which came back negative, and is listed as day-to-day.

Elvis Andrus - SS - Rangers

Elvis Andrus plated the go-ahead run with an infield RBI single in the 10th inning as part of Friday’s 4-3 victory over the Rays.

Andrus went 3-for-5 on the night, including a solo homer in the first inning. He entered Friday’s action in a miserable 2-for-33 slide, so hopefully this will get him going again.
