Cunningham recorded a complete stat line in Game 3, but the Knicks did a better job of making him work for his offense than in Game 2. He shot 40 percent from the field, which isn’t terrible, but he also had six turnovers on the night. To avoid falling into a 3-1 hole on Sunday, the Pistons will need Cunningham to be at his best. And overall, he’s played exceptionally well in his first postseason appearance.

Winn hit one 377 feet to left-center against Matt Strahm for the first homer Strahm has surrendered this season. Winn also walked in the game. He’s a nice mixed-league MI option for as long as the Cardinals keep hitting him at the top of the order.

Samuel, fresh off offseason neck surgery, visited with the Saints Monday as he pursues his next playing opportunity. He has clear connection to the franchise after they hired Brandon Staley to fill their defensive coordinator position, for whom Samuel played under with the Chargers. Fowler adds that Samuel has another doctor visit scheduled for early July, during which time he hopes to gain clearance to resume football activities.

Liberatore gave up 11 hard-hit balls, but just one of those turned into an extra-base hit, and he also walked only one. We’re still skeptical that he’ll keep this up, but he’s been remarkably solid in amassing a 3.11 ERA in eight starts. He’ll face the Royals next.

Helsley struck out two of the three batters he faced. It’s his 12th scoreless outing in 15 appearances this season.

This is just the typical Sánchez outing at this point. He’s allowed exactly two earned runs in four of his eight starts while going 4-1 with a 2.91 ERA. He’ll likely face the Pirates on Sunday.

It seems like only a matter of time before Walker gets sent down to Triple-A for the third year in a row. He’s been on the bench for four of the Cardinals’ last 10 games anyway, and he’s currently in a 7-for-67 slump.
