Bellinger went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

This was Bellinger's third multi-hit effort in a row. He's been locked in at the plate since coming back from a hamstring injury, going 12-for-40 (.300) over his last 10 games. Bellinger is hitting .263 with a .765 OPS, 12 home runs, 59 RBI, 59 runs scored, 22 doubles, three triples and 10 stolen bases over 112 contests this season.

Wells went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Wells has gone 4-for-12 with seven RBI over his last four contests. The steal is more of a rarity -- he has three thefts this year, and this one was his first since Aug. 8. The catcher is batting just .184 with a .588 OPS, 10 home runs, 26 RBI, 29 runs scored and seven doubles across 328 plate appearances.

Chisholm went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Chisholm had just two homers over 27 games in August, batting .244 during the month. He's off to a positive start in September, having already matched his total of three-hit games from last month. The second baseman is batting .232 with a .719 OPS, 19 homers, 55 RBI, 67 runs scored, 16 doubles, three triples and 40 stolen bases across 130 contests this season.

Jones went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks, a third RBI, a stolen base and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Jones has homered in back-to-back games, and he logged his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 23. The 25-year-old outfielder has homered in four of his last 13 contests. For the season, he's batting .245 with a .771 OPS, nine long balls, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases on 11 attempts over 66 games. He's seeing a little more than a strong-side platoon role heading into the stretch run.

Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a triple in Tuesday's 15-2 rout of the Tigers.

Jeffers recorded his second triple of the season in his first plate appearance before taking Kyle Finnegan deep for a three-run homer in the sixth, his second trip to the plate during Minnesota's 10-run frame. He's now homered three times over his last two games after going 24 consecutive contests without leaving the yard. Jeffers is enjoying a strong season, slashing .278/.381/.510 with 13 homers, 16 doubles, two triples, 49 RBI, 46 runs and one steal across 75 games.

Cole (8-7) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Angels on Tuesday.

This was Cole's shortest start in nearly two months. He's allowed three runs in back-to-back outings after a stretch of five starts in which he surrendered no more than two runs in each game. Cole is at a 3.29 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 110:22 K:BB through 104 innings over 18 starts this season. With wins in five of his last seven outings, he's in a good position to keep things rolling when he gets a home start versus the Rockies next week.

Lawlar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Phillies.

Lawlar was responsible for the Diamondbacks' lone run and their only multi-hit performance. Since returning from a hamstring injury Aug. 17, he has gone 9-for-35 (.257) with three homers and six RBI over 12 contests. He's batting .288 with an .837 OPS, four homers, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases over 82 plate appearances this season. Lawlar will typically play against most southpaws, but he's in a part-time role against right-handed pitchers.

Rodriguez (14-5) allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Phillies on Tuesday.

Rodriguez had allowed a total of four runs over 25.2 innings during his four-start winning streak to end August. He had trouble containing a formidable offense, though this was the sixth time in seven starts during which he was able to keep the ball in the yard. Rodriguez is at a 2.59 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 122:55 K:BB through 167 innings over 28 starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Royals.

Stowers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Royals.

Stowers took Randy Dobnak deep for a solo homer in the fifth inning, giving him 17 long balls on the season and his first since returning from the injured list due to a hamstring strain. He's gone 7-for-25 (.280) with five RBI across eight games since his return, though his 41.4 percent strikeout rate during that stretch remains a concern.

Harper went 4-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

While all four hits were singles, Harper was able to get on base in every plate appearance in this contest. The 33-year-old has multiple hits in seven of his last nine games, going 17-for-34 (.500) with five RBI in that span. On the year, Harper is batting .274 with a .901 OPS, 27 home runs, 80 RBI, 85 runs scored, 28 doubles, three triples and seven stolen bases over 139 contests.
