Brett Gardner - OF - Yankees

Brett Gardner went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Mariners.

The Yankees had just one hit to their credit (a dunk single by Chase Headley) against Felix Hernandez until Gardner added to the total in emphatic fashion in the sixth inning, pulling a no-doubter to right to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead. Gardner has been incredibly hot-and-cold this season and it looks like he might be heating up again, having gone 5-for-15 with three extra-base hits in his last three games.
Jul 21 - 1:56 AM
Aroldis Chapman - R - Yankees

Aroldis Chapman surrendered one run on one hit while striking out two in the ninth inning of Thursday's win over the Mariners.

No save on this one. Chapman had the luxury of a 4-0 lead when he entered to start the bottom of the ninth inning. Even with the advantage, he looked immediately shaky, walking Mike Zunino on five pitches to open the frame and throwing a wild pitch to allow a pinch-running Guillermo Heredia to reach second. Following back-to-back strikeouts on sliders, Chapman would give up an RBI double to Robinson Cano before finally closing out the win. The flamethrowing southpaw owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 37/12 K/BB ratio in 24 2/3 innings this season. He is 10-for-13 in save chances.
Jul 21 - 1:54 AM
Robinson Cano - 2B - Mariners

Robinson Cano went 3-for-5 with an RBI double in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.

The Yankees held a 4-0 lead in the ninth inning before Cano finally broke through with a gap RBI double against Aroldis Chapman to score the team's lone run of the contest. While the All-Star second baseman has not put up a season quite as glorious as his 2016 campaign, he is still slashing a respectable .271/.333/.472 with 18 homers and 65 RBI in 86 games played.
Jul 21 - 1:45 AM
Danny Valencia - 1B - Mariners

Danny Valencia went 2-for-4 in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.

The Mariners collected 10 hits as a team, but managed just one run in the game. This was Valencia's third two-hit performance in his last five games and he is now slashing .273/.332/.435 with 11 homers and 48 RBI for the season as a whole.
Jul 21 - 1:42 AM
Luis Severino - S - Yankees

Luis Severino struck out six over seven shutout innings in Thursday's win over the Mariners.

Severino allowed eight hits and the Mariners had their chances, but he managed to wiggle out of trouble repeatedly over his seven scoreless frames. In his two starts since the All-Star break, Severino has been terrific, having allowed just one run on 12 hits over 14 innings while boasting a 12/3 K/BB ratio. He will carry a 3.21 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 136/30 K/BB ratio (120 2/3 innings) into a home start against the Reds next time he toes the rubber.
Jul 21 - 1:38 AM
Felix Hernandez - S - Mariners

Felix Hernandez struck out nine while allowing one run on three hits over seven innings in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Yankees.

Hernandez was brilliant in this one -- and that was with a somewhat questionable strike zone working against him. Only a Brett Gardner solo homer in the sixth preventing him from seven shutout frames. On the whole, this was King Felix's best start of the season. He will carry a 3.88 ERA and 1.36 WHIP (11 starts) into a home showdown with the Red Sox next time out as he looks to build off of Thursday's gem.
Jul 21 - 1:37 AM
Hunter Renfroe - OF - Padres

Hunter Renfroe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Giants.

Renfroe burned Madison Bumgarner for a two-run dinger in the second inning. He was just activated from the 10-day disabled list before the game after resting up for the minimum 10 days with a strained neck. In 86 games this season, the outfielder is slashing .231/.287/.456 with 17 homers and 41 RBI.
Jul 21 - 1:36 AM
Cory Spangenberg - 3B - Padres

Cory Spangenberg went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Giants.

Spangenberg stepped to the plate with a runner on and one out in the seventh inning against Madison Bumgarner and proceeded to blast a two-run homer to break a 2-2 tie and propel the Padres on their way to victory. He has been working with a hot stick of late, having bopped three home runs in his last five games, including dingers each of his last two contests. For the season as a whole, Spangenberg is hitting to a .266/.306/.409 triple-slash with eight home runs and 28 RBI over the course of 69 games played.
