Nick Senzel - Notches fifth steal Senzel went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Giants.
Impact Senzel knocked in the opening run and stole a base in the second inning, but the Giants took over after that. After enduring a 2-for-18 skid, Senzel has gone 5-for-10 with a double, three RBI, three steals and two runs scored in his last three contests. The outfielder still has plenty to prove -- he's slashing .222/.275/.272 with one home run, 11 RBI, 19 runs scored, five steals and five doubles across 171 plate appearances this season, but he's finally trending in the right direction again.

Brandon Drury - Pops 15th homer in loss Drury went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Giants.
Impact Drury went yard in the eighth inning, but it was far too late to make an impact on the result. He's clubbed seven of his 15 homers in his last 21 contests while going 28-for-84 (.333) in June. The productive month has boosted his slash line to .270/.329/.522 with 37 RBI, 44 runs scored, a stolen base and 13 doubles in 61 contests overall. As long as the bat stays hot, Drury should be penciled in for a near-everyday role at third base and as the No. 2 hitter.

Mike Minor - Hit hard in loss Minor (1-4) allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings, taking the loss versus the Giants on Saturday.
Impact Minor allowed three home runs, though he was fortunate they were all solo shots. It was still far too much for the Reds to overcome, and the southpaw has only picked up one run through five starts since making his season debut June 3. He's sporting an ugly 7.71 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB through 25.2 innings, and he's already allowed 10 long balls after giving up 26 in 28 starts last year. The 34-year-old will try to keep the ball down in a home start versus Atlanta next week.

Evan Longoria - Homers in consecutive contests Longoria went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Reds.
Impact Longoria has homered in consecutive games and he's hit safely in six straight, going 8-for-21 (.381) during the streak. The third baseman tied the game at 1-1 in the second inning with his blast before adding a sac fly in the third for the Giants' fourth run. Longoria had another short burst of power in late May before suffering a minor shoulder injury, but it looks like he's back in a groove. He's batting .241 with an .801 OPS, seven homers, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored and five doubles through 122 plate appearances this year, and he should command a majority of the starts at the hot corner, though the 36-year-old is likely to get routine rest.

Joc Pederson - Smacks homer off southpaw Pederson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Reds.
Impact Pederson doesn't play a ton against southpaws, but he made the most of his opportunity against Reds lefty Mike Minor. The outfielder went deep in the fifth inning for the Giants' sixth run. With four homers and two multi-hit efforts in his last 11 games, a span in which he's gone 10-for-34 (.294), Pederson is in a groove at the plate. He's up to a .270/.344/.573 slash line, 17 homers, 39 RBI, 32 runs scored, two stolen bases and five doubles across 209 plate appearances.
