8/16 3:26 PM Hunter Goodman (OF/C-COL) Rockies Star Hunter Goodman Has Powered Team During Impressive Stretch. The Colorado Rockies (and their fans) have had little to celebrate this year, but if you look at only their last four games they have a 3-1 record and they have a chance to take back-to-back series for the first time this season. The Rockies just returned home to Coors Field after a road stretch where they bounced back after being swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks to win the series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Goodman has been reliable at the plate both on offense and defense.

8/16 2:45 PM Emmanuel Clase (P-CLE) The Guardians Have A New Closer, And He's Thriving In That Role. When the Cleveland Guardians learned that Emmanuel Clase would be placed on administrative leave amid an MLB investigation, Stephen Vogt initially said the team would go "closer by committee" instead of appointing one pitcher to that position. Pitching in the ninth inning of a close game isn't for everyone, and many pitchers, who have had success pitching in other situations, simply can't find success in high-leverage moments late in games. With the distractions and the weight that once surrounded this team, that table probably feels like it's 6,000 feet in the air for Cade, but it doesn't matter.
