Derek Law - Hit with third lossLaw (2-3) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit with one walk over 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

ImpactLaw relieved Nick Lodolo to begin the sixth and went 1-2-3 through the first hitters he faced. The right-handed reliever returned in the seventh and appeared to be cruising to another 1-2-3 inning before surrendering a two-out homer to Seiya Suzuki to put the Reds down 2-1. Law has now allowed five runs over his last two appearances, taking the loss each time.

Wade Miley - Earns win in relief SaturdayMiley (2-2) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Saturday against the Reds.

ImpactMiley hadn't pitched in a week due to oblique tightness, and he made his return in a relief role for the first time this season, working through two innings on just 12 pitches without allowing a hit or a walk. Injuries have limited the lefty to only 37 innings this year, though he's pitched well with a 3.16 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. Miley will likely stick in a relief role in the last few days of the season, then aim to get healthy for a bigger workload in 2023.

Drew Smyly - Allows one run over threeSmyly did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on four hits over three innings against Cincinnati. He struck out two.

ImpactThe only damage against Smyly came on a two-out Kyle Farmer single in the top of the third to score Spencer Steer. However, the left-hander needed 62 pitches to get through three innings and was relieved by Adbert Alzolay to begin the fourth. Smyly has now allowed one run or fewer in each of his last three starts, registering 15 strikeouts to only three walks over that stretch.

Seiya Suzuki - Pops 14th home runSuzuki went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Reds.

ImpactSuzuki's 14th home run of the season in the seventh inning was the difference maker in a 2-1 Chicago victory. The Japanese rookie has had a solid debut with a .785 OPS, though he also missed about a month with a finger injury earlier in the year, so his counting stats could have been better with more playing time. Suzuki could be primed for a big 2023 campaign if he stays healthy and gets more settled in at the MLB level.
