Andy Ibáñez went yard for the 11th time amongst his two hits, knocked in two runs and scored twice, but his best efforts couldn’t prevent Detroit from falling to 6-5 to Cincinnati. The native of the Isle of Youth is hitting .318 in his last 7 games.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr swatted two hits, drove in a run and scored on another occasion to raised his average to .258 in Arizona’s 7-4 loss to the Mets. The young slugger now has 74 RBIs on the season and is only 10 away from setting a career mark.

J.D. Martínez drove in two runs via a two-run back-breaking single in the eighth inning to do his part in the Dodgers 11-2 thrashing of the Padres. The Cuban-American is hitting .348 in his last seven games and has also driven in seven runs over that span.
Carlos Rodón tossed five innings of four-hit, one-run ball to secure his third victory of the season. The lefty fanned nine and watched his ERA fall to 6.14 on the season in the Yankees’ 4-1 win over their arch rival Redsox. The flamethrower has struck out 50 in 51 ⅓ innings on the campaign.
