American Family Field, Milwaukee, WI

Christian Yelich - Goes yard twice in winYelich went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and six RBI in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Nationals.

ImpactFor at least one day, Yelich rediscovered his MVP form, taking Paolo Espino deep in the first inning for a solo shot before launching a grand slam off Javy Guerra in the eighth. Yelich hadn't homered since July 18 and hadn't had a multi-homer game all season, and despite this huge performance, he's batting only .244 with eight home runs and 38 RBI through 81 contests.

Josh Hader - Collects save No. 25Hader gave up a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his 25th save of the season in a 9-6 win over the Nationals.

ImpactThe southpaw hasn't blow a save since July 7, and he's converted four saves in six appearances so far in August. On the season, Hader sports a 1.62 ERA and fearsome 77:16 K:BB through 44.1 innings.

Eric Lauer - Stumbles to no-decisionLauer didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Nationals, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

ImpactThe left-hander gave up two runs in the top of the first inning before exiting the game in the fifth after 76 pitches (52 strikes) on the hook for his fifth loss of the season, but Milwaukee's offense bailed Lauer out with three runs in the bottom of the frame. The 26-year-old will take a 3.59 ERA and 76:29 K:BB through 77.2 innings into his next outing.

Lane Thomas - On base four times SaturdayThomas went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Brewers.

ImpactGetting the start in center field and hitting leadoff, Thomas did an exceptional job setting the table for the Nats. The 25-year-old has started three of five games since joining the Washington, all three when a southpaw was on the mound for the opposition, but he could work himself into more than just a platoon role if he keeps seizing his opportunities -- he's gone 6-for-11 to begin his tenure with the club with four walks, a double, a triple, two RBI and three runs.

Yadiel Hernandez - Pops sixth homerHernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Brewers.

ImpactThe 33-year-old took Brent Suter deep in the sixth inning to tie the game at 4-4. Hernandez continues to enjoy a big August, batting .339 (19-for-56) with four of his six homers on the season.

Paolo Espino - Escapes with no-decision SaturdayEspino didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Brewers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

ImpactThe outing was a mixed bag for Espino, as he tied his season high for strikeouts but failed to complete five innings once again. The right-hander also served up another homer, a first-inning solo shot by Christian Yelich, and over his last nine appearances and 35.2 innings, Espino has a 6.31 ERA fueled by a 2.52 HR/9.
