Patrick Corbin - Hurls five innings in no-decision Corbin didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk across five innings. He struc...
Impact Corbin had issues with the long ball and gave up homers to Rhys Hoskins, Andrew McCutchen and Alec Bohm, but the struggles of Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez allowed Corbin to avoid what would've been his 10th loss of the season. The veteran lefty has been pitching poorly of late, and he has allowed at least four earned runs in four of his last five outings while posting a 7.18 ERA across 26.1 innings during that stretch.

Sam Clay - Takes loss, blows save Thursday Clay (0-4) was tagged with the loss and a blown save Thursday in the second game of a doubleheader against the Phillies after allowing four runs (three earned) on one hit and two w...
Impact Clay entered the game in a save situation with the Nationals holding a one-run lead in the bottom of the eighth, but he couldn't get the job done. Despite retiring Odubel Herrera on a groundout, back-to-back walks to Jean Segura and Aaron Nola set up the stage for what would be a walkoff grand slam by Brad Miller. As a result, Clay ended a streak of three straight scoreless appearances and owns an inflated 10.38 ERA, as well as a 1.96 WHIP, across 12 appearances (8.2 innings) this month.

Josh Harrison - Huge day in twin bill Harrison went 5-for-8 with three doubles, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
Impact If the 34-year-old utility player is on the trading block, he only increased his value with Thursday's performance. Harrison has hit safely in 12 of 13 games since the All-Star break, slashing .412/.464/.745 over that stretch, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him shipped to a contender Friday.

Juan Soto - On base six times Thursday Soto went 4-for-6 with two walks and two runs scored in Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
Impact While he didn't show any power, the 22-year-old still put together a strong performance in the twin bill. Soto is the last star standing in Washington after a flurry of trades ahead of the deadline, which could affect his run production over the final two months of the season, but simply maintaining his .302/.427/.513 slash line would still provide plenty of fantasy value.

Kyle Finnegan - Tallies first save Finnegan struck out two and did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Phillies.
Impact Finnegan was thrust into the closer's role with Brad Hand and Daniel Hudson (COVID-19 protocols) traded Thursday. He had little trouble shutting down the Phillies, as he needed only 12 pitches to record his first career save. With Hand and Hudson out of the picture, Finnegan could be in the position to see save opportunities across the final two months of the campaign.
