Romy Gonzàlez - Tallies 11th RBI Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Twins.
Impact Gonzalez lined a ball to right field in the third inning, which turned into an RBI triple after it was misplayed by Matt Wallner. It was Gonzalez's first run batted in across his last 10 starts, and he's hit only .114 across his last 35 at-bats. Despite his struggles, Gonzalez should continue to get consistent run at second base to close the regular season.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Payton - Scores twice, drives in one Payton went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Twins.
Impact Payton drew only his second start since being recalled Sept. 24, and took advantage by collecting his first hits of the season. He has only 53 career plate appearances in the majors and has a 49 wRC+ in that span. Even if he sees an uptick in playing time across the final few games of the season, he isn't likely to make a major impact.

Liam Hendriks - Picks up 34th save Hendriks walked one and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Twins.
Impact Hendriks maintained a one-run lead to record his 34th save of the season. He's turned in seven consecutive scoreless appearances, and he's maintained a 9:2 K:BB across 6.2 innings in that span. While he hasn't replicated his dominant 2021 campaign, Hendriks still has a very solid 2.96 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across 54.2 frames on the campaign.

Lucas Giolito - Six more punchouts Giolito allowed two earned runs on for hits and three walks while striking out six across five innings Thursday against the Twins. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Giolito allowed four of the first six batters he faced to reach base, which accounted for both of the earned runs against him. However, he settled in from there -- with the exception of his control problems -- and he racked up 12 swinging strikes on 93 total pitches. Giolito has failed to meet expectations this season, though he has maintained a 3.71 ERA with a 31:11 K:BB across 26.2 innings and five starts in September.
