José Abreu broke a slump that saw him hitting .136 by driving in two runs via a sacrifice fly and double to lead Houston to a 5-2 victory over the Angels. The native of Cienfuegos, Cuba now has 22 runs batted in on the campaign.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr knocked in two runs for the second consecutive night via a sixth inning double, his only hit on the night and a key hit in Philadelphia’s 5-4 comeback win versus Colorado. The outfielder has driven in six runs in his last seven games.
Nick Castellanos had a perfect night at the plate last night, the Cuban-American collected three hits in three at-bats and drove in a run in Philadelphia’s 4-2 loss to the Mets. The outfielder who is hitting .300 on the season is also second in the National League in doubles with 18.
