Turner Hill delivers first MLB homer versus Cards

Bichette took Cristopher Sanchez deep in the sixth inning for his 17th home run of the season. The 28-year-old also has 76 RBI while slashing .263/.312/.392 in his first season with the Mets. It hasn’t been a tremendous year for Bichette, but he hasn’t been a terrible offseason addition and has taken to third base relatively well. It remains to be seen if he will be with the Mets in 2027 or opt out of his deal.

Muñoz was hurt on a walk of TJ Rumfield after giving up a homer to Hunter Goodman earlier in the ninth. Eduardo Bazardo replaced him to try to close out the Rockies.

O’Brien has picked up his last two saves with little issue after blowing two saves back-to-back last week. He has 38 saves and 4.08 ERA. O’Brien came out of nowhere to have an excellent first half of the season, but has a 5.32 ERA in the second half.

Irvin gave up three hits, walked none and struck out eight. The eight strikeouts are the most Irvin has had in a start since April 25 against the White Sox, when he had nine. Irvin still hasn’t won a start since May 23 against the Braves. He’ll take a 5.40 ERA into his next start against the Mets next Sunday.

Mathews gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out three. It was a solid outing for the 25-year-old, but he wasn’t able to repeat the eight strikeouts from his last start. Mathews has had three consecutive quality starts for the first time in his MLB career. He has a 3.65 ERA. Mathews is lined up to face the Brewers on the road next Saturday.

Yastrzemski’s home run was his 12th of the season. He hit a three-run shot as part of a four-run sixth inning for the Braves. Yastrzemski has hit home runs in back-to-back games. He’s hitting .231 with a .706 OPS and 40 RBI this year. Yastrzemski isn’t a fantasy factor as a part-time player.

Altuve’s home run was his 16th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Martin Perez in the fourth inning. It was his first home run since September 3 against the White Sox, a span of 14 games where Altuve had only one RBI. He’s hitting .249 with a .709 OPS and 45 RBI this year.

Brown gave up three hits, walked two and struck out 10. He’s had 10 strikeouts in three of his last five starts. Brown left the game with a 1-0 lead, but the bullpen allowed four runs as soon as he left the ballgame. He has a 3.26 ERA this year. Brown is lined up to face the Athletics on the road next Saturday.

Pérez gave up six hits, walked two and struck out two. He had allowed two runs in 13 innings over his last two starts, but wasn’t quite as sharp against the Astros on Sunday. Pérez only allowed one run, but failed to complete five innings. He has a 3.04 ERA this year. Pérez is lined up to face the Marlins on the road next Saturday.

Pasquantino’s home run was his 14th of the season. He started the day on the bench, but entered the game in the seventh inning and hit a two-run home run. Pasquantino has five home runs and 13 RBI in 17 games in September. He’s hitting .244 with a .736 OPS and 54 RBI this year.
