Collin McHugh - Grabs fifth winMcHugh (5-1) was credited with the win in a victory over the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing an earned run on three hits over two innings.
ImpactThe outing was atypical for McHugh with respect to this season in a couple of ways, as the right-hander failed to record a strikeout in an appearance for the first time since May 30 while also allowing his first earned run since May 24. The two impressive stretches speak to McHugh's dominance, which is also reflected in his 1.43 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across 28 appearances (five starts).

Yandy Díaz - Clutch single in winDiaz went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Phillies on Wednesday.
ImpactDiaz's timely fourth-inning knock snapped a 1-1 tie at the time. The 30-year-old now sports a nifty four-game hitting streak that's seen him go 6-for-14 with an RBI, two walks and three runs, and he should continue to log consistent action at first base while Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Wander Franco - Another pair of doubles WednesdayFranco went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs in a win over the Phillies on Wednesday.
ImpactFranco continued his torrid tear at the plate, one that's seen him lace multiple hits in three of his last four games and hit safely in nine consecutive contests overall. The 20-year-old phenom, who never hit below .315 at any minor-league stop, appears to be well on his way to gaining similar mastery over big-league arms and now boasts a .790 OPS through 216 plate appearances.
