Albert Pujols - 1B - Angels

Albert Pujols went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a walk, and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals.

No home runs for Pujols after joining the 500-homer club on Tuesday, but the 34-year-old kept the hot hitting going. Pujols is now slashing .284/.351/.625 in 97 plate appearances. One item worth keeping an eye on is his strikeout rate, as it is markedly lower than it has been since Pujols joined the Angels as a free agent. His current 8.2 percent strikeout rate would be his lowest since 2006.

Marcus Semien - 2B - White Sox

Marcus Semien went 1-for-4 with a timely grand slam as the White Sox defeated the Tigers 6-4 on Wednesday.

Semien's seventh-inning grand slam put the White Sox ahead 6-4, a lead they would hold on to for the final three innings. Semien hasn't been very reliable with the bat, but is on a four-game hitting streak with as many extra-base hits in that span. He'll have to keep it going in order to maintain playing time once Gordon Beckham is activated.
Apr 23 - 10:23 PM
Matt Lindstrom - R - White Sox

Matt Lindstrom earned his third save of the season in Wednesday's win over the Tigers.

Lindstrom found himself in trouble, putting the winning run on base with a walk and a single, but was able to escape the jam. Lindstrom has made things anything but comfortable pitching out of the bullpen in nine appearances to start the season.
Apr 23 - 10:21 PM
Andre Rienzo - R - White Sox

Andre Rienzo got the win in Wednesday's start against the Tigers, allowing four runs in 6 1/3 innings.

Rienzo, filling in for the injured Felipe Paulino, mostly stayed out of trouble, but the Tigers took advantage of him in the fourth inning, hanging a four-spot on the board. Rienzo surrendered five hits and two walks while striking out three. He will face the Rays the next time out.
Apr 23 - 10:17 PM
Charlie Leesman - S - White Sox

White Sox optioned LHP Charlie Leesman to Triple-A Charlotte.

Leesman was called up to start on Tuesday, allowing six run over 2 2/3 innings in a loss to the Tigers. He was scheduled for another start on Sunday, so it's unclear how the Sox rotation will shake out. Leesman was optioned to make room for Gordon Beckham on the active roster.
Apr 23 - 10:15 PM
Drew Smyly - R - Tigers

Drew Smyly held the White Sox to two runs over six innings in Wednesday's start, but took home the no-decision.

Smyly, making his second start of the season, looked better than he did his last time out on the mound. Overall, the lefty allowed six hits and a walk while striking out seven. Smyly will look to continue improving, getting the White Sox again in his next start.
Apr 23 - 10:15 PM
Leury Garcia - 2B - White Sox

Leury Garcia went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base as the White Sox defeated the Tigers on Wednesday.

Garcia hasn't been terribly productive with the bat as he notched his first multi-hit game since April 2. He swiped his third bag of the season, but was also thrown out on another attempt, making him 3-for-4 on the season.
Apr 23 - 10:12 PM
Paul Konerko - 1B - White Sox

Paul Konerko went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored as the White Sox defeated the Tigers on Wednesday.

Konerko, who has played sparingly, was hitting .105 in 20 plate appearances entering the night. The 38-year-old was making only his fourth start of the season. With Adam Dunn and Jose Abreu hitting so well, it's hard to fault the White Sox for using Konerko so sparingly.
