Alex Bregman

Homers from Alex Bregman and Jon Singleton accounted for the runs. This makes five homers given up in four starts for Stone this month, after he allowed just six through 15 starts to begin the year. He remains a mixed-league option at the moment, but fatigue could be a factor down the stretch.

Eovaldi struck out seven and didn't walk anyone. He did allow eight hits, but he was able to keep the Astros off the board outside of a Yainer Diaz single in the first that scored Alex Bregman. There were some jams in this one, but Eovaldi was able to work his magic to wiggle out of them. He ends the first half with a strong 2.97 ERA, and he should continue to be an excellent option after the break.

Loperfido belted his second homer of the season into the stands for a two-run blast to give the Astros a 4-0 lead in a game that featured an early onslaught of runs against the Marlins' Bryan Hoeing. Loperfido would later triple to kickoff the fourth inning and scored on the following play when Alex Bregman hit into a fielder's choice. Loperfido has now hit safely in four-straight games but is hitting just .238 on the month.

Bregman's go-ahead two-run shot off Marlins reliever Huascar Brazoban in the eighth inning wound up being the difference in a low-scoring affair at Minute Maid Park. It was his 11th round-tripper of the season and second time he's gone deep in eight games since the start of July. The 30-year-old impending free agent is batting .298 (37-for-124) with three homers and 16 RBI over his last 30 games.
