Wade Davis - R - Rockies

Wade Davis threw a perfect ninth inning Saturday to close out a 5-2 win over the Cubs.

Davis needed seven pitches to finish off his former team, earning his ninth save of the year. He's been largely brilliant this season, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 10/3 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings.

Yoan Moncada - 2B - White Sox

Yoan Moncada left Saturday's game against the Astros with left hamstring tightness, the team clarified after the game.

It was initially described as being a manager's decision to remove him from the lopsided affair, but the team and Moncada said afterward that it was a hamstring issue. Moncada also said he doesn't think it's a big deal and that he expects to play Sunday, so it sounds as though he and the team were just being cautious in a blowout. Carry on.

Willson Contreras - C - Cubs

Willson Contreras hit a two-run double in Saturday's loss to the Rockies.

Things were looking up for the Cubs after Contreras lifted one to left-center field that was a few inches from being a three-run homer, but they were the last runs the club would score against Tyler Anderson and company. Contreras finished 1-for-4 in the game. He's still searching for that first homer, but the 25-year-old is still producing, batting .275/.351/.406 through 16 games this year.
Apr 21 - 11:27 PM
Gerardo Parra - OF - Rockies

Gerardo Parra went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Cubs.

Parra contributed a two-run single in the Rockies' five-run fifth inning against Yu Darvish and company. Shortly after the hit, he stole second base, his second steal of the season. Parra has gotten some extra playing time lately with Carlos Gonzalez sidelined and some other hitters struggling, but he hasn't been a revelation, either, slashing .217/.280/.290 in 69 at-bats. He'll ideally slide back into a fourth outfielder role as players' health improves and abilities even out.
Apr 21 - 11:22 PM
Yu Darvish - S - Cubs

Yu Darvish allowed one hit through his first four innings before proceeding to allow five runs in the fifth, exiting after 4 2/3 in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday.

The contrast doesn't get much more stark than owning a one-hitter one minute then giving up five runs -- all with two outs, no less -- in less than an inning of work. It happened that quickly for Darvish, though, and it was his command -- he walked two, including Rockies starter Tyler Anderson, to get the rally started -- that betrayed him as much as anything. The high-profile marriage hasn't been great for Darvish and the Cubs in the early going, as the 31-year-old now owns a 6.86 ERA and 1.63 WHIP through his first four starts in Chicago. He'll try to get on track Friday against the division-rival Brewers.
Apr 21 - 11:20 PM
Tyler Anderson - S - Rockies

Tyler Anderson allowed two first-inning runs but no more, completing six innings in a win Saturday.

A couple of singles to lead off the game preceded a two-out, two-run double by Willson Castillo that threatened to derail the train early for Anderson, but he stabilized to get out of the inning with no more damage and then put up zeroes the rest of the way. The southpaw struck out six while allowing six hits and walking two over his six innings. The win was the first decision, win or loss, for Anderson this year, improving him to 1-0 with a 4.32 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in five starts. He'll look to make it a winning streak when the Rockies travel to take on the lowly Marlins on Friday.
Apr 21 - 11:19 PM
Travis Shaw - 3B - Brewers

Travis Shaw went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, three walks and three runs scored in Saturday's win over the Marlins.

Strong overall showing by Shaw, who connected for a solo home run off Jose Urena in the second inning and went on to show a selective eye throughout the contest. The third baseman is up to speed after a slow start, slashing .296/.387/.531 with four home runs and 10 RBI in 22 games. He has now homered in each of his last two games and has drawn eight walks over the past four contests.
Apr 21 - 11:17 PM
Lewis Brinson - OF - Marlins

Lewis Brinson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

Brinson burned Brent Suter for a three-run home run in the second inning. He struck out in his other three at-bats on the evening, however. The 23-year-old outfielder has largely struggled this season and owns a .157/.203/.286 triple-slash in 19 games played. If you're searching for a small bright spot in this dim open to the campaign, three of Brinson's four home runs on the year have come over his last three games.
