Alan Roden goes 3-for-3, doubles twice in victory

The Yankees led 5-1 entering the ninth inning, but the Rockies scored two runs, creating a save situation. Bednar only faced Mickey Moniak and he struck him out to end the game. It was his 32nd save of the season. He has a 2.63 ERA.

Hughes gave up four hits, walked none and struck out six. He fell to 0-7 with the loss. Hughes had a solid start, but the Rockies couldn’t score more than one run off Cam Schlittler, resulting in him taking the loss. He still has a 5.81 ERA, which doesn’t imply that his record should be much better. Hughes is lined up to face the Tigers on the road this weekend in one of the few matchups where he could be worth the risk in fantasy leagues.

Schlittler gave up three hits, walked none and struck out 10. He improved to 13-6 with the win. The Rockies were no match for Schlittler on Tuesday as he knocked them down like bowling pins. He’s allowed five runs over his last six starts and his ERA is 2.01. Schlittler is lined up to face the Mets at home on Sunday.

Walker hit a 94-mph sinker a season-high 440 feet for his 25th homer, though just his third since the beginning of August. He was 5-for-34 with no RBI in his previous 10 games.

Wesneski shut out the Phillies until giving up a double to Justin Crawford, an RBI single to Kyle Schwarber and a two-run homer to Trea Turner in consecutive at-bats in the sixth. Fortunately, he had a five-run lead to work with before that happened. He moved to 5-1 with a 3.35 ERA. Barring a change, he’ll make his next start Sunday against the Rays. The Astros, though, might look at pushing him back. His only outing on four days’ rest since returning from elbow surgery was also his worst to date; he gave up five runs in four innings against Seattle in his lone loss on Aug. 15.

Working with a two-run lead, Hader gave up a single and then an RBI double to start the ninth, but he retired J.T. Realmuto, Derek Hill and Kyle Schwarber afterwards to end the game. The run Hader allowed was his first in 22 appearances dating back to July 20. His ERA increased from 0.69 to 0.89.

It’s something of a setback for Painter, but at least he struck out six. He also allowed fewer hard-hit balls (eight) than hits. The loss is Painter’s first in eight starts since rejoining the Phillies’ rotation. He has a 3.77 ERA and a 44/15 K/BB in 45 1/3 innings over the span. He’ll try to bounce back in a tough matchup in Atlanta on Sunday.

Smith took a chance and ran through a stop sign at third base to score his first run on Jeremy Peña’s double. Especially after he was sat down in back-to-back games over the weekend, it was a little surprising to see Smith in the lineup tonight against a righty after he struck out three all three times up on Monday. He’ll be back in there Wednesday against a lefty, though it will be a touch matchup versus Christopher Sánchez.

The homer off Hayden Wesneski’s was Turner’s first in a month, but he does now have five doubles in seven games in September. That can’t be a bad sign.
