- Charlie Blackmon was 3 for 4 with a solo home run in a Rockies win over the Mets. Blackmon also doubled and had 2 runs scored. He is hitting .330 with 25 HR and 97 runs scored this season. Greg Holland pitched a scoreless inning with 2 strikeouts and ended up with a win. He came on during a tie game and the Rockies scored an inning later via a walk off walk! Holland recently cut his finger in a kitchen accident so it is a good sign to see him back on the mound.

Goldschmidt continues to be one of the best players in fantasy. He is hitting .320 with 25 HR 85 RBI and 86 runs scored. Willson Contreras hit 2 home runs in the loss.

- Corey Kluber was dominant in an Indians win over the Yankees. Kluber tossed a complete game allowing just 3 hits and 1 run. He struck out 11 in the win. He became the 4th pitcher in MLB history with 12 straight games of at least 8 strikeouts. The other 3? Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, and Nolan Ryan. Pretty impressive list!
