Sanders (6’4/297) spent five years at South Carolina as a member of a menacing Gamecocks defensive front that generated an 8.9% sack rate and 43.6% pressure rate, both top-five marks nationally in 2024. His 33 pressures ranked 10th in FBS last year to go with 54 stops over the last two campaigns and an 83rd% defensive grade. He wins at a 12.9% rate with a combination of push/pull and side step maneuvers that draw from an impressive athletic profile. He ran a 4.95s 40-yard dash (88th%) with a 31.5” vert (85th%) and 9’04” broad jump for an exceptional 9.38 Relative Athletic Score. He uses a series of educated hand swipes and quickness to confound blockers and gain the advantage at the point of attack. Uses length to post and dislodge on run plays, nimble scraping down the line in pursuit. He will sometimes lose gap integrity trying to make a play, but Sanders’ competitiveness and pro-ready body make him an intriguing prospect.

Crawford was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before his liner to left barely dropped into fair territory and plated the automatic runner in the 11th. It gave him his first RBI in nine games. He’s currently hitting .271/.378/.364 for the season.

Woo has come up big for the Mariners in pitching at least six innings every time out this season and going 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA. The 1-0 lead he left with tonight didn’t hold up, but the Mariners did prevail in extra innings to move to 6-2 in Woo’s starts. He’ll face the White Sox next time out.

Muñoz created his own trouble by hitting Paul Goldschmidt to start the ninth, but that was the only mistake he made as a pair of grounders went on to score pinch-runner Pablo Reyes. Muñoz still hasn’t given up an earned run this season.

Fried needed 91 pitches to get his 15 outs, so he didn’t come back out for the sixth. Still, he was effective in allowing four hits and striking out five. He’ll take a 1.11 ERA into his next start, which will likely come Sunday against the Mets.

Williams followed Luke Weaver, who worked flawless eighth and ninth innings before the game went to extras. It’s Williams’ third straight scoreless appearance and sixth in seven games since he was pulled from the closer’s role. Weaver hasn’t had any issues, either, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Williams get a save chance sometime soon.

Ray joined Max Fried as the only pitchers off to 6-0 starts thus far this season, and the Giants have gone 9-0 in his outings. His peripherals are significantly worse than his 3.04 ERA, but he’s definitely performed better in his last four starts than he did in his first five, when he seemed more lucky than good. He’ll pitch at home against the Royals next time out.
