Pittsburgh Pirates DFS SPIN
Carlos Santana stayed hot at the plate in Saturday’s loss to the Pirates, going 2-for-3 with a pair of singles and a walk. As a team, the Pirates totaled just six hits and three walks in the contest, and Santana was the only member of the Pirates to have more than one knock. He has now raised his season slash up to .235/.323/.381 to go with six homers and 34 RBI.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS SPIN
Joey Wiemer homered for the second consecutive game on Saturday, powering the Brewers to a 5-0 victory over the Pirates in Milwaukee. The 24-year-old outfielder opened the scoring in the ballgame with his 366-foot two-run shot off of Mitch Keller in the third inning. That was his only hit in three at-bats on the afternoon, but played a critical role in the Brewers’ victory. He’s now just one of just 11 big league hitters to have 10 or more home runs and stolen bases on the season — and one of only two rookies to do so, joining Diamondbacks’ outfielder Corbin Carroll. While the production has been nice, he’s still slashing just .215/.286/.416 with his 10 homers, 26 RBI and 10 stolen bases on the season.
