- Robbie Ray pitched well in his return to the mound for the Diamondbacks. Ray went 5 innings allowing 2 hits and 1 run while striking out 9 against the Mets. Ray landed on the concussion DL after being hit in the head by a comeback pitch back on July 28. He lowered his season ERA to 3.06 and should line up for face the Dodgers at home in his next outing. A tough moment for Mets fans happened in addition to the loss. Michael Conforto went down after swinging at a pitch in the 5th inning. The team later reported he suffered a dislocated left shoulder. His return in 2017 is up in the air at this point.
- The legend of Rhys Hoskins continues to grow with another home run from the Phillies rookie. Hoskins would finish 2 for 5 with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored. Hoskins is now hitting .283 with 8 HR and 19 RBI in just 15 games. It is also his 5th straight game with a home run. Speaking of guys who can hit home runs, Giancarlo Stanton did just that in the Marlins win. Stanton finished 2 for 5 as well and now has 47 HR and 100 RBI on the season. If we were promised a healthy season from Stanton, he is no question a 1st round pick in 2018, possibly as high as top 5 overall.
