J. Villar - CF

MIA

Jonathan Villar went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base to help the Marlins outlast the Orioles 8-7 on Thursday.

Villar got the party started in the bottom of the first inning when he jumped on the first pitch he saw from Wade LeBlanc, smacking it over the left field wall for a solo homer. It was a precursor of things to come, as the two sides combined for 22 hits and 15 runs in the back-and-forth affair. Villar also had a couple of singles, including a run-scoring single in the fourth inning, and stole his second base of the season -- giving him the ever-popular combo meal -- in the victory. Through seven games the 29-year-old is showing why the Marlins were keen to take a flyer on him this past offseason, hitting .269/.333/.385 with the dinger and two steals.

R. Núñez - 1B

BAL

Renato Nunez socked a pair of solo homers in Thursday's loss to the Marlins.

Nunez left little doubt either time, walloping first a Jordan Yamamoto cutter in the second inning before later punishing a Jorge Guzman fastball in the sixth. He's now got four homers on the young season after belting a career-high 31 last year. One notable difference through this season's first handful of games is that he's producing more outside of the homers, hitting .273 with a .360 on-base percentage after hitting .244 with a .311 OBP in 2019. If he can keep up these gains without losing any of the prodigious power for which he's known, we're suddenly talking about a mixed league asset rather than a one-trick pony he's been in years past. Color us intrigued.

N/A

B. Anderson - 3B

MIA

Brian Anderson went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Thursday's win over the Orioles.

Anderson was in the middle of the action in this back-and-forth affair, giving the Marlins an early lead with a two-run single in the third inning before crushing a rare RBI triple to the deepest part of OPACY to extend the Marlins' lead in the seventh inning. It would prove to be an important insurance run as the O's closed the gap in the ninth before closer Brandon Kintzler slammed the door. Anderson and his Marlins teammates haven't played many games this year after having their season paused for COVID-19 reasons, but the 27-year-old has raked in the seven games in which he has played. Through Thursday, Anderson is hitting .304/.407/.652 with a pair of homers, eight RBI and four runs scored.

L. James - SF

LAL

LeBron James (sitting out with a sore groin) said prior to Thursday's loss to the Rockets that there is an off-court issue going on with the Lakers right now that he can't control and that he'd rather not talk about it.

That's all we know at this point and we're all curious to find out what he's talking about. The Lakers made JaVale McGee inactive tonight and sat Anthony Davis in the fourth quarter, but McGee wasn't needed against a Rockets team that starts a forward at center. The Lakers have now lost three of their last four bubble games with three to play before the playoffs start. Stay tuned.

B. Kintzler - RP

MIA

Brandon Kintzler allowed three hits and a run but closed the door on the Orioles on Thursday, earning his third save of the season.

Kintzler wasn't overly sharp from the outset but managed to get the job done. After a Chris Davis leadoff double and a Pedro Severino RBI single closed the Marlins lead to one, he induced a double play from Hanser Alberto to get within an out of the save. An Anthony Santander single added some drama, but the right-hander got Jose Iglesias to ground out to end the threat. Kintzler now has three saves in the Marlins' first seven games after being one of the last closers off the board in fantasy drafts this spring and summer as 2020 continues to supply the unexpected.

N/A

W. LeBlanc - SP

BAL

Wade LeBlanc allowed six runs on seven hits over 3 1/3 innings in Thursday's no-decision against the Marlins.

Fresh off holding a deep Rays lineup to one run over 5 1/3 innings his last time out, LeBlanc struggled from the outset Thursday -- quite literally, Marlins leadoff hitter Jonathan Villar led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run. The Marlins got to the southpaw for runs in each of the four innings in which he pitched, helping raise his passable 4.09 ERA and 0.81 WHIP coming into the start to a less-palatable 6.91 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through three starts overall this year. A date with the Phillies on Wednesday will probably bring more bad news for the 35-year-old.

Added 12:03 am (EST)

N/A

J. Yamamoto - SP

MIA

Jordan Yamamoto allowed four runs on six hits over four innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Orioles.

Yamamoto was the odd man out of the Marlins' rotation coming out of Summer Camp but their COVID-19 outbreak led the team to recall the right-hander to make his season debut Thursday. It was a relatively soft landing spot against an Orioles team not expected to make much noise in 2020, but Yamamoto didn't capitalize, giving up six hits -- including a pair of solo homers -- while allowing runs in each of the second, third and fourth innings. He did manage to strike out four without walking a batter, and neither he nor O's starter Wade LeBlanc was around to factor in the decision. Assuming the Marlins still need his services he'll take on a slumping Blue Jays offense on Wednesday.

B. McLemore - SG

HOU

Ben McLemore moved into the starting lineup with Russell Westbrook sitting with a quad injury and hit 7-of-13 shots and five 3-pointers for 20 points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 30 minutes.

The small ball thing is working for the Rockets right now and they didn't miss a beat with Westbrook sitting. McLemore had one of his better games of the season and rewarded owners who may have taken a flier on him in DFS tonight. Jeff Green stayed hot with 15 points and three 3-pointers, while Danuel House added 14 points and a couple 3-pointers in the win.
