* Entering the fifth inning Saturday, Zimmermann had thrown 16 consecutive scoreless innings over three starts dating back to April 30.
* Nicholas Castellanos recorded the fourth multi-home run game of his career. Before Saturday, the last time he hit two home runs was Aug. 22, 2017, against the New York Yankees.
