Kyle Farmer - Breaks homer droughtFarmer went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, one double and two additional RBI in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

ImpactAfter going without a home run in 23 games, Farmer took Freddy Tarnok yard in the seventh inning for his fifth long ball of the campaign. The multi-hit effort broke Farmer out of a slump where he was 5-for-34 (.147) in his last 14 games.

Pablo López - Roughed up by AthleticsLopez did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against Oakland. He struck out seven.

ImpactAfter logging a complete game shutout in his last start, Lopez turned in his worst outing of 2023. He set a season high in runs allowed while also tying his season high in the hits column. In six starts leading up to the All-Star break, Lopez earned a 2.72 ERA and a 52:9 K:BB through 39.2 innings, and he will look to reclaim that form in his next start, which is expected to come during a four-game road series against the Mariners next week.

Ryan Noda - Swats 10th homerNoda went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

ImpactNoda blasted a solo home run off Pablo Lopez in the fourth, marking his 10th long ball of the season. However, he wasn't able to put another ball in play, striking out in each of his other four at-bats Saturday. The first baseman has collected a hit in eight of his last 10 games but hasn't had a multi-hit performance since June 13. Through 87 games, Noda is slashing .225/.375/.404 but owns a monstrous 33.9 percent strikeout rate.

Jhoan Duran - Perfect for 14th saveDuran picked up the save Saturday against the Athletics. He struck out two over one clean inning.

ImpactAfter giving up five runs over his last three appearances, Duran bounced back with a perfect inning to nail down his 14th save of the campaign Saturday. Though Duran has struggled as of late, he owns a 2.23 ERA through 33 appearances (36.1 innings) on the year and is locked into closing duties for Minnesota.

Hogan Harris - Struggles in bulk reliefHarris allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings Saturday against the Twins.

ImpactHarris took over in the second frame for opener Austin Pruitt, who gave up a pair of runs in his lone inning of work. Harris didn't fare much better, serving up five runs, including a two-run homer to Michael Taylor, over four innings. The southpaw has now given up four or more runs and walked at least three batters in each of his last four appearances. However, Hogan had allowed only eight runs in his last 28 innings prior to the poor four outings.
