Although José Abreu went yard for the second time and knocked in two runs, but his best efforts could not stop Cleveland from downing Chicago 10-9 in 14 innings. The slugger from Cienfuegos is starting to wake up, in his last seven games he is hitting a solid .267.
Nolan Arenado hit his 12th longball of the season, drove in two runs and scored twice to lead St. Louis 7-4. The Cuban-American who watched his average jump to .272 on the season now has 43 RBIs to go along with his homerun total.
J.D. Martínez collected two doubles in three trips to the plate and had a run scoring in the top of the first to give Los Angeles an early lead over Philly. The Dodgers still fell to the Phillies 5-4. The outfielder now hitting a blistering .305 in his last 15 games and has driven in 17 runs over that stretch.
