Taylor Clarke - Hit with another lossClarke (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Rays after allowing two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out a batter over an inning.

ImpactClarke entered in the seventh with the game tied at one and got off to a good start by striking out Luke Raley, but things quickly took a turn. The next three batters reached to load the bases and two runs would score, one on a wild pitch and another on a sacrifice fly. Clarke now has been charged with two blown saves and two losses over his last four outings and has given up nine runs over that span. He now sits at a 4.81 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB in 33.2 innings.

Daniel Lynch - Limits Rays to one runLynch allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings Sunday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

ImpactThe one run against Lynch came from a solo blast off the bat of Jose Siri in the third. The other five hits Lynch gave up all went for singles. He did register nine whiffs but had under five strikeouts for the fourth consecutive start. He's now allowed three earned runs or less in five of six starts this year and stands at a 3.96 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 24L10 K:BB over 36.1 innings. Lynch will hope to get back in the win column next weekend when the Dodgers come to town.

Tyler Glasnow - Punches out 12Glasnow allowed one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out 12 across five innings Sunday against the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.

ImpactGlasnow didn't have a particularly efficient performance, but he induced an impressive 26 swinging strikes across only 89 total pitches. He's completed more than five innings in only three of his starts on the season, though he has still managed to pick up two wins and rack up 45 punch outs across 30.1 frames. While he's struggled to prevent runs in a few of his starts, Glasnow has now also allowed only one earned run in half of his appearances.

Pete Fairbanks - Locks down save No. 8Fairbanks tossed a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save over the Royals on Sunday. He did not allow a hit but did walk a batter and also struck out one.

ImpactFairbanks is now 3-for-3 in save chances since returning from the injured list June 15. He's had scoreless outings in 16 of his 18 appearances this season and currently sports a 1.76 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB over 15.1 innings. As long as he can stay healthy, Fairbanks appears to be manager Kevin Cash's preferred option for saves over Jason Adam.

Wander Franco - Tallies steal in winFranco went 0-for-3 with a walk and a steal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Royals.

ImpactFranco was still able to provide a positive fantasy performance despite going hitless on the afternoon. He stole his 25th bag of the year, and his activity on the bases has been an added element to his game after he combined for just 10 steals over his first two major league seasons. Franco is putting together a productive year at the plate thus far, but has struggled over the course of June, slashing just .229/.295/.357 with two homers, seven RBI, five runs and a 7:11 BB:K since June 5.

MLB Power Rankings: Which division races are most exciting?

Jose Siri - Goes yard againSiri went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Royals.

ImpactSiri opened up the scoring with a 415-foot blast to left field in the third inning. It was his second home run in his last three games and his 12th since May 7. Siri is now tied with Randy Arozarena for most on the team at 14 long balls and is setting himself up for a potential 30-homer season in just his third MLB campaign. The 27-year-old is now slashing .238/.295/.550 with 34 RBI, 31 runs, seven steals and a 14:59 BB:K over 177 plate appearances.
