Jose Altuve - Records four hits in winAltuve went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two singles, an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 15-1 win over the Mariners.

ImpactAltuve recorded his 31st career four-hit game in Houston's blowout victory over Seattle, collecting a pair of doubles and a pair of singles. Fantasy owners are hoping this outburst spells the end of the 31-year-old's August slump, as the run Altuve knocked in on Saturday is somehow just his second RBI of the month.

Taylor Jones - Comes within a single of the cycleJones came a single shy of the cycle in Saturday's 15-1 win over the Mariners, going 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, a triple and four RBI.

ImpactJones got the two hardest parts of the cycle accomplished by the end of the sixth inning, but couldn't come through with a single in his final at-bat to complete the feat. The 27-year-old has made the most of his playing time in August, as he's hitting .333 with two homers and 10 RBI in the month.

Yordan Alvarez - Keeps crushing the MarinersAlvarez went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 15-1 win over the Mariners.

ImpactAlvarez broke Seattle's heart yet again Saturday with a three-run homer off Logan Gilbert that broke the game wide open in the third inning. The 24-year-old slugger is now hitting .367 with three home runs and 13 RBI in seven games against the Mariners. Both the Astros and fantasy managers alike will be happy to know that these two teams play seven more times this season.

Mitch Haniger - Homers in lossHaniger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 15-1 loss to the Astros.

ImpactHaniger provided the only Mariner run scored on Saturday with a solo homer off Jake Odorizzi. While it has come at the expense of about 30 batting average points, the 30-year-old has set a new career high in home runs this season. His continued production will be crucial if Seattle is to remain in the playoff hunt.

Jake Odorizzi - Solid against MarinersOdorizzi (6-6) allowed one run on four hits and four walks with eight strikeouts through 5.2 innings, getting the win in Saturday's 15-1 drubbing of the Mariners.

ImpactEntering play, Odorizzi had a 6.52 ERA against the Mariners in two starts this season. He worked to shrink that number Saturday night, cruising through 5.2 innings of one-run ball against Seattle. After striking out three or fewer in his last four starts, the eight whiffs are a welcomed sight. The only damage to his line was a Mitch Haniger homer that came after Odorizzi spent over half an hour sequestered in the dugout while his teammates hung a six-spot on the scoreboard. The 31-year-old's next chance will likely come Friday against the Rangers.

Logan Gilbert - Roughed up by AstrosGilbert (5-5) allowed nine runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts through 4.2 innings, taking the loss in Saturday's 15-1 shellacking at the hands of the Astros.

ImpactGilbert needed 94 pitches to get through 4.2 innings on Saturday, as the Astros demolished everything the Mariners' starter had to offer. The big blow came in the third inning when Yordan Alvarez took the 24-year-old over the wall in left field for a three-run homer. After making it through his first 10 starts with a 3.51 ERA, Gilbert has a 7.56 ERA in his subsequent seven outings.
