Yandy Díaz went yard for the 17th time on the season, drove in a run and also scored on an occasion, but his best efforts couldn’t save the Rays from a 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Yankees. Diaz and his .326 batting is tops in the American League.
Yoan Moncada knocked in a run via a third inning double in four trips to the plate in Chicago’s 12-4 thrashing at the hands of Oakland. The infielder is hitting a solid .304 in the last seven games.
Raisel Iglesias continues to be unhittable, last night in Atlanta’s 5-1 win over the Giants the hurler tossed a scoreless inning in which he gave up only a hit and fanned two of the four batters he faced. The righty from the Isle of Youth saw his ERA fall to 2.81 and has not given up a run in the last 14 innings.
