Buster Posey - C - Giants

Buster Posey went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and three total RBI in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Posey rocked a deep RBI double off German Marquez in the first inning, came through with a sacrifice fly in the third and put a cap on his fine evening with an RBI single in the ninth. The All-Star backstop is slashing a blistering .347/.424/.536 with 10 homers and 33 RBI in 239 at-bats this season. If the Giants were anywhere close to contention -- sitting at 28-51 in an ultra-competitive NL West, they have a giant fork sticking out of their back right now -- Posey would probably be drawing some level of early MVP talk.

Denard Span - OF - Giants

Denard Span went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Span struck for an RBI triple in the fourth inning. He is up to four triples on the season and is now hitting .282/.332/.435 with four homers, 15 RBI and 28 runs scored in 216 at-bats. The veteran outfielder has turned in multi-hit efforts in four of his last six games.
Jun 27 - 1:35 AM
Nolan Arenado - 3B - Rockies

Nolan Arenado went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's loss to the Giants.

They do not come around too often for the All-Star third baseman, but this was a rough day at the office for Arenado. Moving on, now. The slugger is hitting a brilliant .292/.343/.552 with 15 homers and 59 RBI in 78 games this season.
Jun 27 - 1:34 AM
Trevor Story - SS - Rockies

Trevor Story went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Monday's loss to the Giants.

Story hit an RBI single in the seventh inning to get the Rockies on the scoreboard, but even with that hit, they still trailed by a 5-1 score. They wound up losing by a 9-2 final. For the season as a whole, Story is slashing just .223/.307/.409 with 10 homers and 29 RBI across 215 at-bats.
Jun 27 - 1:32 AM
Jeff Samardzija - S - Giants

Jeff Samardzija allowed two runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings in Monday's win over the Rockies.

This was a fine outing from Samardzija, who struck out five without walking a batter. He kept the Rockies at bay on the scoreboard until the seventh inning, when he surrendered an RBI single to Trevor Story. The second run on his line came home inherited courtesy of Hunter Strickland. Samardzija will bring a 4.63 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 117/13 K/BB ratio (105 innings) into a road start against the Pirates next time he takes to the mound.
Jun 27 - 1:32 AM
German Marquez - S - Rockies

German Marquez surrendered five runs on seven hits over four innings in Monday's loss to the Giants.

Marquez managed a mere two strikeouts while walking two in the contest. The Giants plated a run in the first inning on a Buster Posey double, then two more in the second inning and two more in the fourth before Marquez took a seat on the bench. It was a disappointing outing, particularly given that the 22-year-old right-hander had surrendered just four runs combined in his previous three starts. He will bring a 4.38 ERA and 1.41 WHIP into a road showdown with the Diamondbacks next time he takes to the mound.

Yunel Escobar - 3B - Angels

Yunel Escobar went 2-for-4 with a two-run single and two strikeouts in Monday's win over the Dodgers.

Escobar notched a two-run single against Rich Hill in the third inning. He had missed the last two games due to a strained left thumb, but had no issues in his return to the lineup on Monday. The veteran third baseman is 10-for-26 (.385) over his last six games and is slashing a fine-if-unspectacular .283/.333/.417 with five homers and 23 RBI in 59 games played this season.
Jun 27 - 1:17 AM
Martin Maldonado - C - Angels

Martin Maldonado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Dodgers.

Maldonado uncoiled for a solo home run off Sergio Romo with one out in the ninth inning to give the Angels a 4-0 lead and offer a little bit of insurance against a Dodgers lineup that had been swinging molten hot bats entering action on Monday. The home run was Maldonado's eighth of the season and bumped his RBI total to 24. He is hitting .261/.328/.431 in 211 at-bats.
