Joe Musgrove - Walks four but allows no runs Musgrove did not factor in the decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday, pitching five scoreless innings during which he allowed four hits and four walks while striking out eight...

Impact Musgrove wasn't at his sharpest in the outing, needing 106 pitches to get through five frames and tying a season high with four walks. He twice loaded the bases and allowed at least one baserunner in all but one of his innings but managed to escape without surrendering any runs. Musgrove has now give up just one run over his past three starts covering 16 innings, lowering his season ERA to 3.03. That's on pace to be the best of his career, and he can tie his single-season high mark in wins with a victory in his final start of the regular season next week.

Josh Hader - Blows fourth save Hader blew the save during Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning victory against the Dodgers, allowing an unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one.

Impact Hader entered in the top of the ninth to protect a one-run lead and surrendered a leadoff Trea Turner double on his first pitch. A subsequent error put runners on the corners and a two-out passed ball let Turner in to tie the game. The blown save is the 28-year-old's first since Aug. 9, as he continues to pitch to his potential this month despite the poor result Tuesday. Over nine contests dating back to Aug. 31, Hader has permitted one earned run on six baserunners while striking out nine across 8.2 innings.

Blake Snell - Delivers five scoreless frames Snell didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Dodgers, allowing one hit and walking three while recording six strikeouts in five scoreless in...

Impact Snell limited the damage to four baserunners across five innings and departed with a two-run lead, but Los Angeles immediately tied the game upon his exit. The 29-year-old continued his excellent performance of late and possesses a 1.80 ERA with 49 strikeouts across 35 innings during his last six turns. Snell seems to have found his stride a bit later than fantasy managers would've preferred, though he should be good for one more start this season, tentatively scheduled to come Sunday against the White Sox.
