K. Seager goes 3-for-5 with a homer, four RBI

Kyle Seager went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored while powering his club to a 9-6 win over the Braves on Wednesday.

His three-run bomb in the eighth-inning proved to be the game's decisive factor. He drove in another run with an infield single earlier in the game. The veteran third baseman has a .259 batting average with 19 home runs and 67 RBI in 121 games. His performance has dropped off some compared to last year's 30-homer campaign but he is still one of the better fantasy third basemen around.

Kiermaier slugs two homers in loss to Jays

Kevin Kiermaier went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

He also worked a walk just for good measure. It is hard to find a better performance than that in the losing side of a boxscore. He slugged a two-run dinger in the third inning and added a solo shot in the fifth. The big game jolts his slash line up to .276/.345/.461 with 10 home runs, 36 runs and 26 RBI in 67 games. He's stolen 11 bases in 15 attempts. He spent two months on the disabled list with a fractured hip before returning to action a week ago.

Severino beats DET, allows one run in 6 2/3

Luis Severino struck out eight batters and allowed just one run in 6 2/3 innings while earning a 10-2 win over the Tigers on Wednesday.

He made it through the first five innings unscathed before surrendering a solo homer to Ian Kinsler in the sixth for the only damage he would allow in the gem outing. The 23-year-old right-hander has been one of the best pitchers in the majors this year following a dismal 2016 season in which he registered a 3-8 record and 5.83 ERA and was demoted to the bullpen. He's turned things around in a major way in 2017 and now owns an 11-5 record with a 3.10 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 25 starts. He has a marvelous 183 strikeouts and 42 walks in 156 2/3 innings.

Rockies' Holland blows another versus Royals

Greg Holland took another blown save and loss tonight after giving up three runs in the ninth Wednesday against the Royals.

This has to be it for Holland for a little while; he looked flat-out awful in giving up a single, a walk and Eric Hosmer's walkoff homer on an 86-mph slider that didn't move. Even the outs were loud. He's given up 12 runs in his last six appearances, taking his ERA from 1.56 to 3.77. The Rockies will have to go to look elsewhere for saves -- probably to Pat Neshek and Jake McGee -- until Holland gets his stuff back.

Montgomery beats Reds with six shutout frames

Mike Montgomery held the Reds scoreless on four hits in six innings during a 9-3 win on Wednesday.

He allowed just four singles and one walk while striking out four in the premium outing. Montgomery was making his first start since mid-July as he fills in for the injured Jon Lester (shoulder) in the Cubs' rotation. For the season he improves to 4-6 with a 3.43 ERA and 1.27 WHIP.

Robinson Cano (hamstring) set to undergo MRI

Robinson Cano (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday.

Cano left Wednesday's game against the Braves due to left hamstring tightness which he experienced when hoofing it out of the box on a double in the third inning. Consider him day-to-day for the time being, with Thursday's MRI likely to shed more specific light on the severity of the injury. Cano said after Wednesday's game that he is not sure if he will be able to play in the Mariners' upcoming weekend series against the Yankees.

Leiter fires seven shutout, one-hit frames

Mark Leiter tossed seven scoreless innings and allowed just one base hit in an 8-0 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

The rookie made it look easy against a strong lineup. He took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Miguel Rojas poked a double to left field to break it up. Leiter allowed just the one knock and two walks while striking out five in the gem effort. He improves to 2-3 with a nice 3.86 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 58 1/3 innings.

Hoskins homers, drives in five runs vs Miami

Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI to lead his team over the Marlins on Wednesday.

He delivered the decisive blow of the ballgame by blasting a three-run bomb off starter Justin Nicolino in the third inning. He drove in two more runs with a double in the sixth. Hoskins also walked in the contest and is batting an impressive .271/.407/.729 with seven longballs and 16 RBI in his first 14 major league games. The powerful outfielder cracked 29 homers in 115 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year before getting called up.

Williams shuts out Dodgers for eight frames

Trevor Williams fired eight shutout innings against the Dodgers but had to settle for a no-decision as his team won 1-0 in extra innings on Wednesday.

Lost in the excitement surrounding Rich Hill's bid for a perfect game was that Williams was matching him inning-for-inning in run prevention. The rookie right-hander surrendered seven base hits and issued four walks against five strikeouts in his best start of the campaign. It was a great effort against the best team in baseball. It was especially nice to see considering he gave up eight runs in three innings against the Cardinals in his previous start. He now has a 4.40 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP in 122 2/3 innings for the season.

Harrison hits walk-off homer, ends no-hitter

Josh Harrison put an end to Rich Hill's no-hit bid by belting a walk-off solo home run in the 10th inning against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

It was the Pirates' only hit of the game and he really made it count. He lifted Hill's 99th pitch of the game over the wall in left field to end perhaps the most amazing contest of the season. Harrison has a .281 batting average with 16 home runs and 47 RBI in 456 at-bats.

Hill loses perfecto in 9th, no-hitter in 10th

Rich Hill took a perfect game into the ninth inning and a no-hitter into the 10th before losing the game to the Pirates on a solo home run by Josh Harrison on Wednesday.

He lost the perfecto on a Logan Forsythe fielding error on a grounder hit by Jordy Mercer leading off the ninth inning. The scoreless game went into extra innings and Hill came back out to pitch the bottom of the tenth. Josh Harrison led off the frame with a walk-off solo homer to spoil the no-hitter and saddle Hill with a loss. The 37-year-old left-hander punched out 10 batters on 99 pitches in the marvelous ballgame. He falls to 9-5 with a 3.32 ERA in 19 starts.
