Kris Bryant - Doubles twice, homersBryant went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in a 10-9 loss Sunday in Milwaukee.
ImpactBryant doubled and scored in the third, blasted a two-run homer in the fifth and doubled again in the eighth. It was his fourth three-hit game in July as he's posted a .338/.403/.662 with five homers this month. The 30-year-old has had some long hot streaks in his career and could salvage his first season in Colorado with a healthy, productive final two months.

Josh Hader - Shaky in saveHader picked up a save Sunday, allowing a run on two hits while striking out two in a 10-9 victory over Colorado.
ImpactAfter striking out the first two batters, Hader gave up a triple and a single to cut the lead to one. With Kris Bryant at the plate, Hader got behind in the count 2-0 before getting Bryant to softly ground out, ending the game. Hader has earned the save in three of his last four opportunities despite allowing 13 runs over his last 6.1 frames. The lefty has seen his ERA jump from 1.05 on July 3 to 4.50 after Sunday's outing. With the Brewers battling for a spot in the postseason, manager Craig Counsell may be less patient with Hader if his struggles continue.

Eric Lauer - Ineffective in no-decisionLauer allowed four runs on six hits and three walks, striking out three in 4.1 innings of a 10-9 win Sunday over Colorado. He did not factor into the decision.
ImpactLauer managed to hold Colorado to two runs through the first four innings but couldn't make it through the fifth after Kris Bryant smashed a two-run homer with one out. It was the 20th homer the lefty has allowed in 100.2 innings this season, 12 of which have come in his last 44 innings of work. He's managed to compile a 3.84 ERA, but peripheral stats suggest that he's been fairly lucky in his 18 starts. He'll need to figure out a way to keep the ball in the ballpark over the last two months of the season to maintain decent production. His next start will likely be next weekend in Boston.

Chad Kuhl - Lasts just 2.1 innings SundayKuhl allowed five runs on five hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out four in 2.1 innings in a 10-9 loss Sunday in Milwaukee. He did not factor into the decision.
ImpactKuhl faced eight batters and yielded three runs in the first inning and two more runs on a Hunter Renfroe homer in the third. Altogether, eight of the 16 batters that Kuhl faced reached safely. It's been feast or famine for the righty all season as he's pitched six innings and allowed one or fewer runs five times and been knocked around for five or more runs five other times. He has been particularly ineffective in July, allowing 17 runs in 17 innings across four starts. His next start will likely be next weekend against the Dodgers.
