Ty Blach - Falters versus CardinalsBlach (1-1) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Cardinals.

ImpactBlach had pitched eight scoreless innings over his previous two outings, both starts, but he suffered a setback in performance this time around. Just two of the hits he allowed went for extra bases, but those knocks were responsible for three of the runs on his line. The veteran southpaw has a 4.85 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB through 26 innings over 10 appearances (three starts) this season. With the Rockies desperate for starting pitching, he should remain in the rotation, and he's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Tommy Edman - Three hits, two RBI in winEdman went 3-for-5 with a triple, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

ImpactEdman came up a home run shy of the cycle in this contest. He's gone 6-for-20 (.300) with three strikeouts over five games since returning from a wrist injury, and he's seen a starting role at shortstop with Paul DeJong traded to Toronto. Edman is slashing .241/.302/.395 with seven homers, 31 RBI, 47 runs scored and 14 stolen bases over 89 games. His starting role is likely safe for a while, but St. Louis could call up top prospect Masyn Winn before the end of the season, which would likely force Edman to switch positions yet again.

This was his third homer in the last four games, and he's hit safely in eight straight, batting .367 (11-for-30) in the longer span. He continues to thrive in a starting role in left field since returning from a back injury. O'Neill is now at a .255/.327/.418 slash line with five homers, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored and two stolen bases through 43 contests overall.

It's been a strong reversal of fortune for the southpaw, who has rebounded from an awful start to the season. He's now at a 3.91 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 93:32 K:BB over 99 innings through 24 appearances (16 starts). Matz will looking to keep it rolling next weekend in a road start versus the Royals.
