  • George Springer returned to the lineup after a toe injury, providing a spark with two hits, while Daulton Varsho contributed a solo home run.

  • Manager John Schneider emphasized the need for better plate discipline, noting that the team must move away from being overly “hit-dependent” to find more offensive consistency.
