Adolis García collected three hits, one of them being a three-run homer in seventh inning to lead Texas to 16-8 win over the Angels. The outfielder also scored twice to go along with his three RBIs on the day. García now leads MLB with 36 RBIs and is hitting .327 in his last 15 games.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr went yard twice and for the third time in the last two, all while driving in four runs in Arizona’s loss to Washington 9-8. The native of Sancti Spíritus, Cuba is hitting .478 has knocked eight runs in his last seven games.
Yennier Canó continues to be the most dominant reliever in Major League Baseball. In yesterday’s 3-2 loss to the Braves by Orioles the right tossed two scorless innings where he struck out three. In 16 innings pitched this season the flamethrower has yet to give up a run and sports a sterling 0.13 WHIP.
