Sean Doolittle - R - Nationals

Sean Doolittle worked a perfect ninth inning on Friday against the Dodgers for his fourth save of the season.

Doolittle needed just 10 pitches to set down the Dodgers, throwing eight strikes. He has successfully converted each of his four save attempts this season. His only loss came during a non-save opportunity on April 15 against the Rockies. Doolittle works for a contender and he turns in a high rate of strikeouts, whiffing 19 batters over just 10 innings.
Apr 21 - 2:05 AM
Bud Norris - R - Cardinals

Bud Norris allowed a run in the ninth inning but still got the save against the Reds on Friday.

He surrendered a walk and two base hits but luckily for him he had a three-run lead to work with. Norris unexpectedly seized the closer's job in St. Louis and has performed well enough to keep it for awhile, especially considering newcomer Greg Holland's struggles thus far. Norris has five saves and a 2.61 ERA.
Apr 21 - 2:04 AM
Max Scherzer - S - Nationals

Max Scherzer allowed one earned run with four hits and three walks while striking out nine batters in six innings in a win against the Dodgers on Friday.

Scherzer outdueled Clayton Kershaw in a head-to-head battle between a pair of three-time Cy Young Award winners. He has struck out at least seven batters in each of his five outings this season, including four quality starts. He'll look to win his fourth consecutive start on Tuesday against the Pirates at Nationals Park.

Jesse Winker - OF - Reds

Jesse Winker singled twice in four chances against the Cardinals on Friday.

The young outfielder has been serving as the Reds leadoff batter and is doing a good job of setting the table -- he has a .414 on-base percentage. He displayed some power last year, swatting seven homers in 47 games but that has not been the case so far this year. He has just one extra-base hit (a double) on the season. Now that Scott Schebler is back from the disabled list Winker may see his playing time drop a little.
Apr 21 - 2:00 AM
Alex Blandino - 3B - Reds

Alex Blandino went 2-for-4 and drove in a run during Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

He singled to score Scooter Gennett as the Reds tried to rally in the final frame. The rookie Blandino was riding the bench most days under former manager Bryan Price, but he will now most likely be the starter at third base until Eugenio Suarez returns from his fractured thumb.
Apr 21 - 1:53 AM
Albert Pujols - 1B - Angels

Albert Pujols went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 8-1 win against San Francisco.

Pujols has 2,991 career hits, as he closes in on a milestone. He could move closer in a hurry on Saturday, as he faces LHP Derek Holland. Pujols is 11-for-37 (.297) with three doubles, four homers and nine RBI with a 1.036 OPS against the former Texas Ranger.
Apr 21 - 1:52 AM
Mike Trout - OF - Angels

Mike Trout went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-1 loss against the Giants.

The Angels forgot their hitting shoes in the clubhouse, as they were only able to account for five total hits. Trout was the only player to do anything, reaching base three times. He is now up to seven homers with 14 RBI to lead the Halos in both categories. He'll look to stay hot against LHP Derek Holland, a pitcher he knows well from Holland's days in Texas. Trout is 14-for-45 (.311) with three doubles, a triple, three homers and 12 RBI with a 1.011 OPS in his career against the lefty.
Apr 21 - 1:50 AM
Brandon Finnegan - S - Reds

Brandon Finnegan surrendered four runs in three innings during Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

He needs a new opponent. Both of his starts this year have been against the Cardinals and they have knocked him around each time. He couldn't throw strikes in this one, walking four batters against two strikeouts in the contest. The left-hander missed the first three weeks of the season with a biceps injury. He falls to 0-2 with an 11.05 ERA in 7 1/3 innings. Perhaps the Reds' new interim manager Jim Riggleman will re-assign Finnegan into a new role until he proves he is ready to start again.
