Ben Williamson drove in four runs in the Mariners’ rout of the Marlins on Saturday.
Williamson continues to impress, and he has a new career-high in RBI with the four Saturday evening. The pair of hits now has him slashing .310/.356/.429 on the year, and he’s been excellent with the glove as expected. He doesn’t have much power, but Williamson’s bat-to-ball skills make him someone to keep an eye on in formats with a shallower pool.
Julio Rodríguez hit a leadoff homer in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.
Jorge Polanco homered twice and scored three runs in a 14-0 blowout win for the Mariners over the Marlins on Saturday.
Luis Castillo allowed just one hit over six innings with five strikeouts and no runs allowed to pick up a win over the Marlins on Saturday.
Connor Gillispie was shelled for seven runs in two innings in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday.
Gillispie gave up six runs in the first and another in the second before mercifully exiting. The 27-year-old gave up back-to-back homers in the first inning and a pair of two-run doubles in that frame. Gillispie is just not good enough to be a rotation option, and his 8.65 ERA tells that story well. He gets the A’s in their Triple-A ballpark next weekend.
Kiké Hernández hit a three-run homer to help the Dodgers to a win Saturday over the Pirates.
