Adolis García knocked five runs via a single in the first in the first inning and a grand slam in the eighth inning to lead Texas to an 11-3 thrashing of Oakland. García who has driven in 37 runs in his last 30 games leads the big leagues in this category with 42.
Luis Robert went yard for the third day in a row and drove in a run but his best efforts could not save Chicago from a 4-3 defeat to Houston. The outfielder is hitting a robust .413 over his last 15 games. Robert has also now driven in 27 runs on the season.
