Alex Bregman - Bangs walk-off homer Bregman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run in Saturday's 7-6 win against the Dodgers.
Impact Bregman was hitless through four at-bats when he came to the plate in the top of the ninth inning, but he made the most of his final plate appearance by swatting a walk-off solo blast to left field. The homer was the second in as many days for the third baseman and extended his modest hitting streak to five games. Bregman has been quite productive for most of July, as he's reached base safely in 18 of his past 19 contests and is batting .293 with five homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base over that span.

Ronel Blanco - Fans nine in no-decision Blanco allowed four runs on three hits and three walks while striking out nine batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Saturday marked the first time in 10 starts that Blanco failed to complete five innings, though he's now given up four runs in each of his past two appearances.
