Week 14: Second Saturday Roundup

The Cubs were not kind to Jordan Lyles, whose ERA shot up to 5.16
during Saturday's disastrous outing. 

STUDS: Justin Turner (M) homered, doubled twice, scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Jose Peraza (M) had a homer, 3 singles, 2 runs and 3 RBIs. Noah Syndergaard (M) struck out 9 and allowed 2 runs in a 7-inning win. Manny Machado (AL) and Starling Marte (CB) each hit a pair of solo homers. Yasiel Puig (YA) had a wild day: he homered, doubled, singled twice, scored 3 runs, drove in 4 and committed 2 errors. Daniel Murphy (WLB) homered, doubled, singled twice, scored twice and walked. Juan Soto (WLB) hit a 2-run homer, singled twice and scored twice. Josh Donaldson (CB) hit a 2-run homer, walked twice and scored 3 runs. Nick Senzel (HG) tripled twice, doubled, singled, scored twice and walked.

DUDS: Jordan Lyles (LCL) had a brutal day, retiring only 2 batters — by strikeout, at least — and allowing 7 runs in a loss. Bryan Reynolds (AL) committed an error. Hector Neris (WLB) allowed the aforementioned 2-run homer to Soto, which means he also blew the save and took the loss. Neris struck out 1 in 1.1 innings. Carson Kelly (CB) walked twice and erred.
