The Pittsburgh Pirates came back to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 13-6, after trailing 5-1. The Pirates were able to record their league-best 34th comeback win. Starling Marte went 1-for-3 three at the plate with an RBI, a walk, and he a hit-by-pitch. Marte drove in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning with the bases loaded.

Fantasy Impact:

Starling Marte has been a fantastic fantasy option all season long, but he has dipped off some in the month of August. However, he showed some signs of resilience on Sunday night against the Dodgers with the game-winning RBI. Marte needs to remain in your starting lineup because he is batting second in the Pirates lineup, and whoever bats second, in front of Andrew McCutchen, usually gets prime opportunities to drive the ball.
