Big Papi, Kris Bryant and Bryce Harper are just a few of the big-name offensive stars leading their teams into the postseason.Theres Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Troy Tulowitzki and Edwin Encarnacion on Toronto alone. Adrian Beltre, Carlos Beltran, Adrian Gonzalez and Chase Utley are some of the other recognizable names.Often, guys like Craig Counsell, Adam Kennedy, Cody Ross, David Freese and Marco Scutaro emerge as October heroes.Counsell (2001 Diamondbacks), Kennedy (2002 Angels), Ross (2010 Giants), Freese (2011 Cardinals) and Scutaro (2012 Giants) each were MVPs of the league championship series. All of their teams went on to win the World Series. Only Freese and Scutaro ever made it to an All-Star game -- once each.Heres a Pick 6 of lesser-known players who could shine when the bright lights are on this month:TREA TURNER: Only Daniel Murphy had a higher batting average for the Nationals than their rookie centerfielder. Turner hit .342 with 13 homers, 40 RBI and 33 stolen bases after coming up from the minors to stay in July. While Harper, the 2015 NL MVP, slumped and Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth had down years, Turner was a big addition for the NL East champions.YASMANI GRANDAL: He may have been the best bargain on baseballs highest-priced roster. The Dodgers paid Grandal $693,000, or less than 1 percent of their $227 million payroll. The switch-hitting catcher tied Justin Turner for the team lead with 27 homers and had 72 RBI in only 390 at-bats.BEN ZOBRIST: Its easy to overlook Zobrist on a Cubs team that includes Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward. But Zobrist was an All-Star second baseman, started 29 games in the outfield and usually hit cleanup behind Bryant and Rizzo in Joe Maddons lineup. He finished with a .272 average, 18 homers, 72 RBI and team-high 96 walks.XANDER BOGAERTS: While eyes are on David Ortiz and his farewell ride, Bogaerts has emerged as a star on a team filled with outstanding players. Bogaerts hit .294 with 21 homers and 89 RBI. He already got a taste of the postseason in 2013 when Boston won the World Series, hitting .296 in 12 games.ROUGNED ODOR: Hes known more for delivering a hard right fist to Bautistas jaw, but Odor led the Rangers with 33 homers. The second baseman hit .271 and drove in 88 runs.JOSE RAMIREZ: He started at three infield spots and left field and led Indians with a .312 batting average. Ramirez, the starting third baseman, also had 46 doubles, 76 RBI and stole 22 bases.BONUS PICK: Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis is the unsung hero in a lineup filled with sluggers -- six players had at least 20 homers. Travis led the team in hitting (.300) and solidified the leadoff spot down the stretch.---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi Travis Zajac Devils Jersey .

Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. MILWAUKEE -- In his second major-league start, Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Steven Brault kept his team in the game even though he didnt have his best stuff.The Brewers put runners on base in all six innings against Brault, but he limited the damage in a 3-1 loss to Milwaukee on Friday.I kind of came out over-aggressive, I think is how to explain the first four innings especially, Brault said. I found myself just kind of, you know, trying too hard.Brault almost worked around a leadoff double by Jonathan Villar in the first before he hung a slider to Chris Carter, who hit it for a two-run home run.He hit it, good for him, Brault said. If I were to do it again, I would throw the same pitch, just actually get it down where it needed to be.Recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, Brault struck out Villar with runners at second and third in the second and fourth innings.He kept the game 2-0 until the sixth inning when Keon Broxton hit an RBI double.There wasnt a clean inning out there, Hurdle said. However he made pitches. I liked, especially the two situations with second-and-third with two outs with Villar, whos one of their better hitters ... I thought it was very blue-collar. Very blue-collar effort.The Pirates managed just one run against Brewers starter Junior Guerra. Pittsburgh had just two hits before pinch-hitter Matt Joyce led off the ninth inning with a single.A two-out single by Starling Marte put the tying run on base and chased Guerra. Brewers closer Jeremy Jeffress needed just one pitch to get Jung Ho Kang to ground out to third base to end the game.I really wanted him to get through the inning, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. I thought he pitched like hee deserved to, and I dont think he was tiring or anything like that.ddddddddddddPirates catcher Francisco Cervelli had to be helped off the field in the eighth inning after a pitch from Juan Nicasio glanced off Scooter Gennetts leg and hit him directly on the inside of his right foot.STOLEN BASE RACEVillar and Marte entered Friday tied for the most stolen bases in the major leagues at 36. Villar took the lead by swiping his 37th base of the season in the seventh inning.SCHUGEL SENT DOWNPittsburgh optioned RHP A.J. Schugel to Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Fridays game in order to clear room for Brault to be recalled to face the Brewers. Schugel is 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA in 34 appearances with Pittsburgh this season.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong made his fourth rehab start Wednesday. He allowed two runs on five hits over seven innings. Vogelsong has been out since May 24 with facial fractures.Brewers: LF Ryan Braun missed his second consecutive game Friday with right side tightness. Brewers manager Craig Counsell hopes to have Braun back Saturday. Just a little bit tight; waiting for it to loosen up, Braun said.UP NEXTPirates: RHP Jameson Taillon (2-1, 3.60 ERA) will make his eighth career start and his second against Milwaukee. He allowed one run on five hits over six innings July 19 against the Brewers.Brewers: RHP Chase Anderson (5-10, 5.40) will try for his first quality start since June 8 when he faces Pittsburgh. He snapped a four-game losing streak last time out by allowing two runs in five innings July 25 against Arizona. ' ' '
