Adolis García swatted a double in four trips to the plate and knocked in two runs to lead Texas to an 8-4 win over Tampa. The slugger who now has 54 RBIs on the campaign is second in MLB in this statistical category, second only to his countrymen Yordan Álvarez.
Johan Oviedo had his sixth quality start of the season and second in a row, but that was not enough to prevent Pittsburgh from falling 5-1 to the Mets. The right-hander from Havana tossed six innings of four hit two-run ball to watch his ERA descend to 4.16 on the campaign.
