San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Camilo Doval gave up two runs in the ninth inning to take a blown save Tuesday against the Phillies. Doval hit Bryson Stott with a pitch before Brandon Marsh singled to right field, allowing Stott to move to third base. After Marsh swiped second base, a call was made to intentionally walk Kyle Schwarber so the righty could face Trea Turner. Turner connected on the sixth pitch of the at-bat, which allowed two runs to score. It was Doval’s third blown save in as many attempts but he wasn’t able to secure the win this time.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Bryce Harper went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, and one run scored in a 4-3 win over the Giants on Tuesday. Harper greeted Giants starter Kyle Harrison in the first inning Tuesday with a no-doubter in Harrison’s major league debut. It was a stark contrast from Harper’s inside-the-park homer in Monday night’s affair. The 30-year-old fantasy superstar’s season started off slow, but he is now hitting .297/.389/.429 on the season.
