Andrew Kittredge takes blown save versus Rays

Contreras’s home run was his 25th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Zack Littell in the fifth inning. Contreras has now hit two home runs in his last five games. He’s hitting .281 with a .924 OPS and 73 RBI this year.

Bratt gave up four hits, walked three and struck out none. He fell to 1-2 with the loss. Bratt allowed two runs in the second inning and another in the third inning before he was lifted from the game. Then the fireworks really started for the Red Sox as Boston put up eight runs on the Arizona bullpen. Bratt has a 4.17 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Reds at home on Sunday.

Bello gave up three hits, walked one and struck out three. He improved to 5-6 with the win. Bello was the bulk pitcher for Boston behind opener Alec Gamboa, who pitch 1 1/3 innings. Bello hasn’t technically started a game since June 4 against the Orioles, but he threw 76 pitches Monday, showing he’s still stretched out for a starter’s workload. He has a 4.69 ERA and isn’t lined up for another appearance currently.

Duran gave up a run in the ninth inning, the fourth run allowed by the Phillies’ bullpen on the night, but was still able to close out the Marlins to preserve a 6-5 victory. It was his 27th save of the year. It’s the third time Duran has saved at least 27 games in his career and he’s just three saves away from back-to-back seasons with at least 30 saves.

Junk gave up eight hits, walked two and struck out two. While this wasn’t his best start, he battled and ended up allowing only two runs. Junk has now allowed six earned runs in 23 2/3 innings (2.33 ERA) over his last five starts. He’s lined up to face the Nationals at home on Sunday.

Sánchez gave up eight hits, walked three and struck out six. He improved to 16-4 with the win. Sánchez leads all of baseball in wins and his 16 wins are a career-high. He has a 2.51 ERA. Sánchez is lined up to face the Cardinals at home on Sunday.

Lovullo added that they’re trying to figure out the situation after Marte failed to show up to Fenway Park for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox and was placed on the restricted list. It’s unclear how much time Marte is going to miss at the moment, but it doesn’t sound like his return is imminent, which means fantasy managers should brace for the possibility that his absence stretches beyond a few days. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point in the coming days.

McGonigle’s home run was his 13th of the year. He hit a two-run shot off Carmen Mlodzinski in the second inning. McGonigle now has three home runs and 11 RBI in 15 games in August after hitting four home runs with nine RBI in 23 games in July. He’s hitting .282 with an .810 OPS and 50 RBI this season.

Ibáñez heads to Triple-A Tacoma as emergency organizational depth for Seattle after being released by the Mets last week. The 33-year-old veteran infielder hasn’t appeared in the majors since getting into three games for New York back in May.

Jansen’s save was his 16th of the season. He retired the side in order while recording two strikeouts. It was career save No. 492 for Jansen, who has allowed only two runs in his last 14 appearances (1.37 ERA). He has a 3.74 ERA on the year.
