Truist Park, Atlanta, GA

Austin Riley - Homers in third straightRiley went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

ImpactRiley led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a triple before coming around to score on a Matt Olson home run in the next at-bat. But the third baseman wasn't done there, launching a three-run homer in the very next inning to put Atlanta on top 6-5. Riley is riding a nice hot streak at the plate and he's now homered in three consecutive games, driving in 11 runs over that stretch.

Miguel Castro - Blows lead, takes lossCastro (5-4) was tagged with Thursday's loss to Atlanta. He allowed three runs on two hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.

ImpactCastro, who began the eighth inning with a 5-3 lead, sandwiched a pair of outs around a double before getting into trouble. He walked Ozzie Albies before Austin Riley took him deep for a three-run home run to erase Arizona's lead. Although his 3.4 BB/9 is an improvement over previous seasons, it's still a high number and the right-hander walked a delicate line before Thursday's costly free pass. A one-time member of a closer-by-committee, Castro has since returned to a middle-relief role, one in which he had recent success. Castro entered the game with a 1.50 ERA over his previous 12 innings.

Corbin Carroll - Closes in on 20-30Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Thursday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.

ImpactCarroll homered in the top of the eighth inning to increase the Diamondbacks' lead to 5-3 before the bullpen ceded four runs in the bottom half of the frame. A candidate for MLB Rookie of the Year, Carroll inched closer to a 20-30 campaign. The homer was his 19th and the steal his 29th.

Emmanuel Rivera - Homers in lossRivera went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.

ImpactRivera's blast was the second of back-to-back homers in the seventh inning that turned a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead before the bullpen let it slip away. The home run was the second in as many starts for Rivera, who had entered the All-Star break in a slump but is 4-for-13 with three extra-base hits in the second half. He continues to have an edge at third base over Evan Longoria.

Dominic Canzone - Swats first MLB homerCanzone went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.

ImpactCanzone, who registered his first hit in the majors in Tuesday's series opener, belted his first MLB homer in the seventh inning to give Arizona a brief lead. His was the first of back-to-back homers, as Emmanuel Rivera followed up to increase the lead. Canzone has made three starts since being called up from Triple-A Reno earlier this month. The Diamondbacks are stacked in the outfield, and it's hard to see how Canzone can get significant plate appearances.

Raisel Iglesias - Picks up 17th saveIglesias picked up the save in Thursday's 7-5 win over Arizona. He allowed one hit and one walk over a scoreless inning.

ImpactIglesias entered the game with a two-run lead in the top of the ninth and certainly made things interesting after surrendering a walk to Emmanuel Rivera, followed by a single from Jake McCarthy. However, the right-handed reliever needed only seven pitches to retire the next two hitters and get out of the jam, recording his 17th save of the season in the process. Iglesias has now converted each of his last eight save opportunities, with his last blown save coming back on June 12.

Matt Olson - Crushes two homers in winOlson went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

ImpactOlson's two-run shot in the bottom of the seventh inning brought Atlanta back within one run of the Diamondbacks. The first baseman then came right back in his next at-bat and smacked a solo home run, going back-to-back with Austin Riley to give his team a 7-5 lead. Olson continues to deliver at the plate, especially in July where he's now batting .327 with four homers, 13 RBI and 11 runs scored. His 32 home runs on the season also leads the National League.
