Main had been sidelined since the spring with a stress fracture in his rib cage. He wasn’t expected to put in a full year at age 19 anyway. Ideally, he probably would have thrown about 100 innings this season. Now the Rangers will shoot for 60-70 and maybe some more in the instructional league in October.

Rocker was excellent on Saturday, holding the Royals scoreless over six frames. He scattered three hits and three walks, tossing 52 of 85 pitches for strikes. Rocker succeeded mostly with batted ball luck and weak contact, striking out two and inducing nine fly outs. The outing continues his trend of success at home, ending the day with a 2.95 ERA at Globe Life Field. The 26-year-old right-hander will take a 3.54 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and a 44/25 K/BB ratio across 56 innings into a start against the Guardians in Texas on Friday.

Lugo served up a solo homer to Josh Jung in the first inning. The Rangers brought two unearned runs in to score in the fourth on three hits and an error. Lugo completed two more innings, ending his day after six with six strikeouts. He scattered six hits in all with no walks. The 36-year-old right-hander will carry a 3.55 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 60/23 K/BB ratio across 71 innings into a start against the Twins in Minnesota on Thursday.

Mead was out of the starting lineup for the first time in six games and probably the last time for at least a week or two. He worked the walk after hitting for Nasim Nuñez in the seventh, giving the Nationals a 4-3 lead, and then mostly clinched the game by making it 9-4 in the eighth. Mead is 9-for-26 with four homers, nine RBI and four walks in his last seven appearances.

The runs came on homers from Xander Bogaerts, Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. Griffn’s ERA is still a solid 3.76, but he’s up to 13 homers allowed in 67 innings, and it doesn’t seem like things will get a lot better for him there. He’ll make his next start Friday in Arizona.

Varland was pulled from a 7-4 game with the bases loaded, and Clayton Beeter bailed him out. Varland hasn’t taken any blown saves in his opportunities to close, but his stock has declined after a shaky month in which the Nationals have often chosen to play matchups late in games. His fourth and most recent save came on May 7, and he’s given up five earned runs in 7 1/3 innings in eight appearances since. Beeter went on to get the save today.

Beeter, who replaced Gus Varland, stranded the bases loaded by retiring Ty France to end the eighth. The Nationals then gave him two extra runs to work with heading into the ninth, and he pitched a scoreless inning despite walking two. It’s Beeter’s first save in four appearances since returning from the injured list. Consider him to be very much in the mix for saves in D.C., but it’s hard to say that any of the team’s relievers are worth rostering in shallow leagues right now.

It was just one run through six, thanks in part to Jorbit Vivas’s 369-foot fly to right in the fifth turning into an out. Statcast had it as a homer in 26 ballparks. The seventh started with a single, a big miscue from Fernando Tatis Jr. on a grounder to second that went as a fielder’s choice, a walk and a HBP, at which point King was removed. After another botched play in the infield and another walk before the first out was finally recorded, it wound up turning into a six-run inning for the Nationals. King was clearly better than the line suggested, but he dropped to 4-4 with a 3.04 ERA. He’ll likely face the Mets next Friday.

Just a little 451-foot poke to left from the light-hitting Tatis. It went 58 feet farther than any other flyball hit by Tatis this year. His previous farthest-hit pulled flyballs this year were 367 feet and 335 feet. Hopefully, it’ll prove to be the start of something. Tatis is now at .271/.346/.324 in 241 plate appearances on the season.

The Orioles had just one run on three hits and trailed by four going into the ninth inning. The team would rally in the final frame, bringing four runs home and loading the bases with one out. Alonso stepped in and delivered the walk-off base hit to bring home the winning run, his first walk-off as an Oriole. The 31-year-old slugger is hitting .232/.315/.433 with 11 homers, 32 runs scored, and 35 RBI across 254 plate appearances.

Guerrero had an excellent day at the plate, collecting a season-high four hits. He singled in the first inning, then led off the fourth with a base hit and scored a run. He added a single and a second run scored in the eighth before driving in a run with a double in the ninth. The 27-year-old first baseman raises his slash line to .305/.400/.394 with three homers, 35 runs scored, 24 RBI, and five steals across 240 plate appearances.
