Nathaniel Lowe - Doubles twice in three-hit effort Lowe went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact This was Lowe's second three-hit effort in a row. He's now gone seven contests without a home run, and he's gone deep just once in May. The first baseman has a steady .279/.354/.454 slash line with five homers, 29 RBI, 34 runs scored and 15 doubles through 46 games this season.

Josh H. Smith - Clubs homer Smith hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact Smith served as a defensive replacement for Marcus Semien at second base in the blowout win. In his lone at-bat, Smith took Alan Trejo deep in the eighth inning. With the return of Corey Seager, there's no longer a clear path to playing time for Smith, so he's returned to a utility role. The 25-year-old is slashing .222/.385/.389 with three homers, four RBI, 14 runs scored, a stolen base and three doubles through 92 plate appearances.

Josh Jung - Pops ninth homer Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact Jung got the scoring started for the Rangers with his second-inning solo shot. It was his ninth homer of the year, but his first in 15 games. The third baseman is slashing .257/.308/.456 with 28 RBI, 30 runs scored, a stolen base and seven doubles through 43 contests in his first season as a near-everyday player.

Corey Seager - Heating up Seager went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact This was Seager's second three-hit effort in a row, and he's homered in each of those contests. The shortstop was back at designated hitter Sunday after playing the field over the previous two contests. He's up to a .382/.455/.673 slash line with three homers, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and seven doubles through 15 games this season.

Andrew Heaney - Sharp in Sunday's win Heaney (3-3) allowed an unearned run on six hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win Sunday over the Rockies.
Impact Heaney limited an opponent to one run or less for the fourth time in nine outings this season. He allowed the Rockies to get on the board with a fielder's choice in the sixth inning. Heaney had a 5.52 ERA through his first six starts, but it's down to 4.13 with a 1.21 WHIP and 52:20 K:BB across 48 innings over nine starts this season. He's lined up for a tough road matchup in Baltimore for his next outing.
