Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA

Shohei Ohtani - Bright spot in lossOhtani went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a triple and three total RBI in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Dodgers.

ImpactNot only did Ohtani extend his major-league lead in homers with his 32nd of the year, he also took sole possession of first place in triples with his sixth three-bagger. He had just two hits over his first six games in July, though he's been dealing with various finger issues over the last week-plus that have mostly affected his pitching. As a batter, the two-way star concludes the first half with a stellar .302/.387/.663 slash line, 71 RBI, 63 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 89 games.

Reid Detmers - Hot stretch meets tough endDetmers (2-6) allowed seven runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

ImpactDetmers had allowed just five runs over his previous 31.2 innings, but the Dodgers' lineup tagged him for three solo home runs and made the most with the rest of their baserunners to end the southpaw's hot stretch. It was a sour ending to the first half for Detmers, who has a 4.31 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 107:32 K:BB through 85.2 innings across 16 starts. He's projected for a challenging first matchup out of the All-Star break -- he'll either take the mound versus the Astros or the Yankees, though either potential outcome would be at home in Anaheim.

David Peralta - Homers off benchPeralta hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

ImpactPeralta was on the bench versus southpaw Reid Detmers to begin the game, but the veteran outfielder drew in as a pinch hitter and homered against righty reliever Zack Weiss. Through eight games in July, Peralta has gone 8-for-22 (.364) in his usual strong-side platoon role. He's up to a .283/.323/.434 slash line with seven homers, 32 RBI, 24 runs scored and a stolen base over 229 plate appearances.

Max Muncy - Swats 21st homerMuncy went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two total RBI in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

ImpactMuncy has homered three times over his last six games, accounting for half of his hits in that span. Prior to this surge, he'd gone 14 contests without a long ball, though there was a two-week absence with a hamstring injury in that span. Muncy is slashing .198/.331/.476 with 21 homers, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored and a stolen base over 72 games this season.

Freddie Freeman - Homers in Saturday's winFreeman went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

ImpactFreeman has hit safely in all but one of his last 13 games, going 19-for-55 (.345) in that span. He's homered in three straight contests, bringing his total to 17 on the year. The first baseman has added 61 RBI, 72 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 31 doubles and a .320/.396/.556 slash line over 89 games as one of the Dodgers' most consistent hitters.

Michael Grove - Picks up first winGrove (1-2) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to earn the win over the Angels on Saturday.

ImpactGrove worked behind opener Alex Vesia, who tossed a scoreless first inning. Grove's outing began with four scoreless innings before he gave all four runs over his last two frames. The right-hander now has a 6.89 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 43:15 K:BB through 47 innings over 11 appearances (eight starts) this season. Grove's stay in a starting or bulk-relief role likely depends on how much longer Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) will be out.
