On the Phillies' side, besides Turner's standout performance, Kyle Schwarber has also made waves as the designated hitter.

The team's pitchers have shown promise too; Ranger Suárez and Max Lazar have both maintained a 0.00 ERA across their appearances, showcasing their ability to stifle opposing hitters effectively.


The Marlins counter with their own set of top performers. Otto Lopez at second base has been a reliable player for Miami, showing versatility and skill both at bat and in the field.
