Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA

J.D. Davis - Records first stolen baseDavis went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.

ImpactThe third baseman recorded his first steal of the year and just his fifth in five major-league seasons. Davis is far from a speed threat, and he's been only modestly productive when healthy this year. The 28-year-old has a .293/.384/.450 slash line with four home runs, 17 RBI, 15 runs scored and 10 doubles through 164 plate appearances. He's started regularly at third base with Javier Baez (back) and Francisco Lindor (oblique) out, but both could be activated as soon as Sunday. That likely would lead to Jonathan Villar and Jeff McNeil challenging Davis for playing time going forward as the Mets' lineup gets more crowded.

Pete Alonso - Homers in consecutive gamesAlonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.

ImpactThe first baseman has gone yard three times in his last five games and in back-to-back contests after bringing the Mets within a run with his seventh-inning blast Saturday. Alonso is on a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 9-for-28 (.321) with eight RBI and six runs scored. He's up to a .258/.340/.509 slash line, 28 homers, 73 RBI, 62 runs scored and three stolen bases in 466 plate appearances as a productive slugger in the heart of the Mets' order.

Brandon Nimmo - Productive in lossNimmo went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.

ImpactThe outfielder was responsible for the Mets' first run, knocking a solo shot off Dodgers ace Max Scherzer in the fifth inning. Nimmo hasn't provided much in the way of counting stats this year with four homers, 20 RBI, 35 runs scored and two stolen bases. He's added 14 doubles and a .283/.401/.399 slash line across 268 plate appearances. He has a meager two long balls, five RBI and nine runs scored through 20 games in August.

Rich Hill - Takes first loss with new teamHill (6-5) took the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers. He allowed three runs on six hits and struck out two in five innings.

ImpactThis was the 41-year-old's first loss as a Met. All three runs Hill allowed came on solo home runs. It marks the second time in his last five starts that Hill's allowed multiple homers, although he kept the ball in the yard in the other three outings. For the year, he owns a 4.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 107:43 K:BB across 122 innings. The southpaw lines up for a home start versus Washington during next weekend's three-game series.

Matt Beaty - Swipes bag, scores runBeaty hit a single, stole a base and scored a run in his lone at-bat as a pinch hitter in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

ImpactThe 28-year-old was able to make an impact after hitting for Albert Pujols in the sixth inning. Beaty got aboard on a single, stole second and scored on Chris Taylor's bases-loaded walk to give the Dodgers just enough for the win. Playing time has been sparse for Beaty lately, as he's seen just 18 at-bats across 15 games in August. He owns a .266/.363/.380 slash line with five home runs, 34 RBI, 31 runs scored and a stolen base through 212 plate appearances overall.

Chris Taylor - Clubs homer SaturdayTaylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a bases-loaded walk in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

ImpactThe utility man started Saturday's contest in right field. Taylor delivered his 18th homer of the year in the fourth inning and added a walk to force in a run in the sixth. The 30-year-old has hit safely in each of his last three games, going 3-for-8 with two walks, three RBI and two runs scored in that span. He's up to a .280/.370/.481 slash line with 66 RBI, 83 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 484 plate appearances.

Albert Pujols - Goes deep in winPujols went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

ImpactThe first baseman launched a solo shot in the first inning to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead. Pujols continues to see a limited role, as he's logged only 22 at-bats across 11 games in August. For the season, the 41-year-old has a .243/.291/.440 slash line with 15 homers, 45 RBI, 25 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 261 plate appearances.
