Joey Wiemer, OF, Brewers: Wiemer went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer and four RBIs to lead the Brewers to a 9-3 win over the Dodgers on Monday. Wiemer cracked a three-run homer off Tony Gonsolin in the fifth to open the scoring and added an RBI double in the seventh that kickstarted a six-run inning. Wiemer’s homer left his bat at 108.8 mph, according to Statcast, the hardest-hit ball of his young career. 

Gabriel Moreno, C, D-backs: Moreno is heating up in a big way after a slow start to the season. The 23-year-old backstop went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI to help lead the D-backs to a 5-2 win over the Marlins. In the last three weeks, Moreno has raised his batting average from .214 to .315.

Joey Wentz, LHP, Tigers: Wentz pitched 5.2 innings with three hits and two runs allowed, three walks and five strikeouts to lead the Tigers to a 6-2 win over the Guardians. The effort gave Wentz his first win of the year and was the Tigers’ sixth win in seven games.
