It’s the first classic bad Alcantara start — when he gets knocked around but still goes six or seven innings anyway — since his return from Tommy John. He’s completed six innings in four of his five starts this month after doing so just once in April and May. Things are on the upswing here, but it should be noted that he’s yet to have much success against offenses that are clicking. The Brewers will likely give him a good test next week.

Bender had a win on March 30 and a save a day later and then no more of either for almost three months until today. He had, however, picked up five losses and three blown saves, even though he came into the day with a 2.41 ERA. Bender kept the game tied in the bottom of the ninth and then protected a one-run lead with the automatic runner on second in the 10th, getting groundouts from Eugenio Suárez, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Randal Grichuk. Bender is a strong candidate to wind up in another team’s pen before the trade deadline next month.

After one of the worst two-start runs of the season took his ERA from 3.90 to 5.65, Miller has leveled off lately, giving up 10 earned runs over 20 innings in his last four starts. Unfortunately, the kind of outings he’s having currently aren’t as likely to lead to wins now as when the D-backs were closer to full strength earlier this season. Pfaadt will face the Giants next.

Dane Myers swiped a run against Miller with a single and two stolen bases before scoring on a sac fly. Miller struck out the other two batters he faced. This is just the second time he’s been scored upon this month, and he’s still the easy favorite for saves in the Arizona pen.

The 39-year-old Temple said at the end of the Raptors’ season that he wanted to keep playing. He’ll do so with the Raptors for a third consecutive season. Temple only played in 28 games in 2024-25, but he has been an essential figure for the rebuilding Raptors within the locker room. However, he won’t impact fantasy basketball next season.

Marte has four homers in eight games and 16 for the season, even though he didn’t hit his first until May 8. Of course, he missed most of April with a hamstring strain, but he still had no homers through 13 games and now 16 in 43.
