Ben Lively - S - Phillies

Ben Lively delivered a quality start in a no-decision on Friday, limiting the Pirates to one run on five hits over six strong innings.

Lively walked three and struck out four on the night. He held the Pirates off the board through the first five innings until Jordy Mercer came through with a sacrifice fly to break a scoreless tie in the sixth. His next test will come on Thursday at home against the Diamondbacks, where he remains an iffy fantasy option.
Apr 20 - 10:13 PM
Gregory Polanco - OF - Pirates

Gregory Polanco went 2-for-3 with a double as the Pirates fell to the Phillies on Friday night in Philadelphia.

Polanco also drew a walk in the ballgame, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. After a terrific first week, Polanco has fallen on hard times and is now hitting just .206/.321/.500 with five homers and 15 RBI through his first 82 plate appearances.
Apr 20 - 10:13 PM
Ivan Nova - S - Pirates

Ivan Nova pitched very well in a no-decision against the Phillies on Friday, allowing just one run on five hits across six frames.

Nova punched out three on the night and didn't walk a batter. The only blemish on his night came in the sixth inning, where Carlos Santana scooted home on a fielder's choice off the bat of Rhys Hoskins. The right-hander will look to get back in the win column when he carries a 4.20 ERA and 1.10 WHIP into Thursday's start against the Tigers.
Apr 20 - 10:05 PM
Whit Merrifield - 2B - Royals

Whit Merrifield belted his second home run of the season as the Royals topped the Tigers 3-2 to salvage the nightcap of Friday's doubleheader.

Merrifield got the Royals on the board with a solo shot off of Tigers' starter Daniel Norris in the fifth inning. He finished the evening 1-for-5 and is now hitting .271/.354/.400 with a pair of long balls and five RBI on the season.
Apr 20 - 9:59 PM
Abraham Almonte - OF - Royals

Abraham Almonte delivered a game-tying pinch-hit RBI single in the ninth inning of Friday's victory over the Tigers.

Almonte made the most of his lone at-bat in the second game of Friday's doubleheader, lining a Shane Greene offering into right field that plated Ryan Goins to tie the game. He has struggled in his limited action with the Royals this year, hitting just .154/.185/.269 with two RBI.
Apr 20 - 9:59 PM
Kelvin Herrera - R - Royals

Kelvin Herrera worked a scoreless ninth inning in the nightcap of Friday's doubleheader, protecting a one-run lead to earn his third save of the season.

Herrera allowed a two-out single to Miguel Cabrera, but no damage was done. He has yet to be scored upon in his 5 2/3 innings of work on the season and owns a scintillating 0.53 WHIP and 8/0 K/BB ratio.
Apr 20 - 9:53 PM
Jake Junis - S - Royals

Jake Junis pitched well in Friday's victory over the Tigers, surrendering just two runs on four hits over eight strong innings.

The right-hander struck out four and walked one in the contest. He allowed a run-scoring single to Jose Iglesias in the third inning and a sacrifice fly in the seventh, that was the extent of the damage. Now 3-1 on the season, he'll carry a terrific 2.03 ERA and 0.75 WHIP into Thursday's start against the White Sox.
Apr 20 - 9:49 PM
JaCoby Jones - OF - Tigers

JaCoby Jones had a solid night at the plate in the nightcap of Friday's doubleheader as well, going 1-for-2 with a triple and a run scored in a losing effort.

After serving as the hero in Game 1 on Friday, Jones tripled, scored a run and drove in another with a sacrifice fly in Game 2. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to lead the Tigers to victory and they had to settle for a split. He's now hitting .313/.395/.500 on the year and should continue to see increased playing time.
