Zach Thompson - Blanks Atlanta for first MLB winThompson (1-1) picked up the win Saturday, giving up four hits over five scoreless innings in a 4-2 victory over Atlanta. He struck out six without walking a batter.

ImpactIn only his second big-league start, the unheralded 27-year-old held the Atlanta offense in check over 66 pitches (45 strikes) and lasted just long enough to collect his first win. Thompson hadn't tossed more than three innings in any outing this year, either for Miami or for Triple-A Jacksonville, but with the Marlins scrambling to find warm bodies to plug into the rotation right now, he will continue to get stretched out after this strong performance.

Freddie Freeman - Mashes 15th homerFreeman went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.

ImpactThe first baseman took Anthony Bass deep in the eighth inning to bring Atlanta within a run, but it was the only offense the team could manage. Freeman has gone yard twice in the last three games, bringing him up to 15 homers and 35 RBI through 61 games, but his .237 batting average remains well below expectations.

Max Fried - Quality start against MarlinsFried (3-4) took the loss Saturday as Atlanta fell 4-2 to the Marlins, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.

ImpactThe southpaw came through with his second straight quality start and fifth in his last six outings, but Fried is only 2-3 over that stretch thanks to a general lack of run support. On the season, the 27-year-old has a 4.62 ERA -- a figure that stood at 8.44 before his recent stretch of strong outings -- and 49:18 K:BB through 50.2 innings.
