- Can we start taking him for granted yet? Tanner Roark (+43.3%) throws 7 scoreless with 5 Ks, 3 walks, and some nifty defense behind him (see below).
- Roark gets the WPA credit for these plays: Trea Turner (-8.9%) ends the 6th with a tag-play 4-3 DP (+7.7%), while Ben Revere (-0.2%) makes an over-the-shoulder catch in the apex in dead CF to strand 2 runners in scoring position in the 7th (+10.0%).
