ImpactWith the score tied 1-1 in the eighth inning, Bryant drew a two-out walk and stole second base, putting himself in position to score the go-ahead run on Darin Ruf's double two batters later. The swipe was Bryant's eighth of the season and made him a perfect 4-for-4 since joining the Giants at the trade deadline. The 29-year-old is hitting .270/.353/.513 with 24 homers and 65 RBI in 479 plate appearances on the year.

Thairo Estrada - Cracks insurance homer in victoryEstrada went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer Thursday in a 5-1 win over Milwaukee.

ImpactEstrada, fresh off a recall from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, drove a Devin Williams offering over the left field fence in the eighth inning to give the Giants a 5-1 cushion. It was the fourth homer of the year for Estrada, who could see a fair amount of playing time in the days ahead with Donovan Solano (COVID-19), Tommy La Stella (side) and Wilmer Flores (hamstring) currently unavailable. Solano and Flores are on the injured list while La Stella hasn't played since Sunday, opening the door for Estrada to step in at second base.

Austin Slater - Reaches double-digits in homersSlater went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Brewers.

ImpactSlater opened the game with a blast to center field off Milwaukee starter Eric Lauer for his 10th longball of the season. The homer snapped a rough 0-for-16 skid for Slater that dated back to Aug. 16. Th 28-year-old has provided double-digits in both homers and stolen bases (12) this season, but it's come with an anemic .223/.309/.390 slash line across 282 plate appearances.

Logan Webb - Racks up 10 strikeoutsWebb completed seven innings in a no-decision Thursday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on four hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts.

ImpactThe 24-year-old matched his season high for strikeouts but still came away with a no-decision after turning a 1-1 affair over to the bullpen. The lone blemish on his line was a Jace Peterson RBI single in the fourth inning that tied the game. Webb has seen an uptick in his strikeout numbers since early August, whiffing 48 over 39.1 innings in six starts during that stretch. He lines up to face the Rockies at Coors Field in his next scheduled start.

Eric Lauer - Pitches well in no-decisionLauer allowed one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings in Thursday's no-decision against the Giants. He had four strikeouts.

ImpactLauer put together his longest start of the season, going seven full innings for the first time since June 2019. After giving up a leadoff homer to Austin Slater to start the game, followed by a Darin Ruf walk three batters later, Lauer yielded just one baserunner the rest of the way, and that was the result of a Jace Peterson error. Lauer has just one win (1-2) in his last eight outings, but he's posted a 2.54 ERA during that stretch.
