    Tanner Gordon was absolutely obliterated in a losing effort against the Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon, giving up 10 runs on 12 hits over 3 1/3 innings of work.

    Yikes. Gordon also issued four walks on the afternoon while recording one strikeout. The Diamondbacks jumped on him right out of the gate in this one, using home runs from Gabriel Moreno and Nolan Arenado to put up a six-spot in the first inning. They added another pair in the second and two more while chasing him in the fourth. Gordon got three swings and misses on 96 pitches on the day, posting a miserable CSW of 22 percent. He finishes his 2026 season with a 1-6 record, 6.68 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and an 85/24 K/BB ratio over 103 2/3 innings in 24 appearances (12 starts).

    Pete Crow-Armstrong swiped his 40th base of the season in Thursday’s victory over the Marlins, becoming just the seventh player in MLB history to have a 40-homer/40-stolen base season.

    He joins Shohei Ohtani (2024), Ronald Acuna Jr. (2023), Alfonso Soriano (2006), Alex Rodriguez (1998), Barry Bonds (1996) and Jose Canseco (1988) to accomplish the remarkable feat. Soon he’s likely to add a National League MVP award to his list of honors. Crow-Armstrong finished the afternoon 1-for-3 with a walk and a single and is now slashing a robust .280/.373/.575 to go with 45 homers, 107 RBI, 119 runs scored and 40 stolen bases in what has been an exceptional season.

    Ryan Zeferjahn slammed the door on the Marlins on Thursday, working a scoreless ninth inning to protect a one-run advantage.

The right-hander now boasts a 3.88 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 94/40 K/BB ratio across 69 2/3 innings on the season while recording seven saves.

    Jakob Marsee went 1-for-3 and plated the Marlins’ lone run in Thursday afternoon’s loss to the Cubs.

    Marsee smacked an RBI single off of Matthew Boyd in the third inning that gave the Marlins an early 1-0 lead. That would be the extent of their scoring in the contest though. Marsee has been swinging a very hot bat over the past month and is now slashing .230/.347/.356 with 11 homers, 41 RBI and 23 stolen bases (in 35 attempts) over 608 plate appearances on the season.
