Adbert Alzolay - Secures eighth saveAlzolay picked up the save Friday against St. Louis, tossing a scoreless ninth inning. He didn't record a walk or strikeout.
ImpactAlzolay entered with a one-run lead and proceeded to retire Lars Nootbaar and Paul Goldschmidt in order before Nolan Arenado reached on a fielding error. Alzolay then plunked Willson Contreras to put the go-ahead run on base but secured the save by retiring Tyler O'Neill. The right-hander has run away with the Cubs' closing job since May 6, going 7-for-8 in save chances while posting a 28:4 K:BB across 26.1 innings during that stretch.

Miles Mastrobuoni - Hits first career home runMastrobuoni went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's victory over the Cardinals.
ImpactMastrobuoni got the Cubs on the board in the third inning with his first career home run. It's been a struggle offensively for the versatile defender in his first season with Chicago, but he's beginning to pick up the pace and has recorded three straight multi-hit games. With Patrick Wisdom scuffling defensively and Nick Madrigal (hamstring) on injured reserve, Mastrobuoni should continue drawing regular starts at third base, especially against right-handed starters.

ImpactBellinger notched his 13th multi-hit effort over his past 21 appearances and hit his sixth home run during that stretch. The outfielder is in the midst of a resurgent season with the Cubs, but with Chicago falling in the standings, Bellinger could be on the move before the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
