Week 14: Thursday's Roundup

Who likes facing crappy left-handed pitching? Trevor Story does!

Studs: Drew Pomeranz (R21) tossed 7 shutout innings, striking out 6 for the win and adding an RBI single. Nick Markakis (R21) hit 2 - yes, TWO - home runs to bring his season total to 4. That's 7 homers in the last 2 years in nearly 1,000 at-bats. Trevor Story (HE) also (but much more predictably) hit 2 homers, driving in 4 and scoring 3 runs. Adam Wainwright (LY) struck out 9 and allowed 1 run in a 7-inning win. Daniel Murphy (LY) homered and drove in 3 runs. He is slugging a ridiculous .580 this year, 140 points over his career mark. We don't want to imply he's been hanging out with Ryan Braun or anything, but...

Duds: Corey Seager (LY) went 0-fer with an error, ending his hitting streak at 19 games.

Transaction: Retire 21 place 3B Matt Carpenter on the DL, move Kris Bryant from OF to 3B and sign OF Brandon Nimmo.
