We're talking about Scott Kingery again after yet another big night, before breaking down James Paxton's clunker and Trevor Bauer's solid but walk-ridden start. Then we'll discuss some performances that didn't worry us to much, like Zack Wheeler's and Patrick Corbin's, before looking at some breakout hitters like Yordan Alvarez. We'll finish up with all the latest injury news, like Yoan Moncada's back strain and updates on Caleb Smith and Giancarlo Stanton.
