Andy Pagés knocked in three runs via a second inning sacrifice fly and a fifth inning double to do his part in the Dodgers’ 8-4 over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The young slugger has driven in eight runs in only 47 ABs and is hitting a solid .298 on the season.
For the desert snakes Lourdes Gurriel Jr collected a hit, a double in five trips to the plate and also scored a run. The outfielder from Sancti Spíritus, Cuba watched his average descend to .265 and has scored 19 runs on the campaign.
Yennier Cano notched a hold for the second evening in a row, but unlike the last game this time the Orioles came out victorious by a 2-0 count. The right-hander has fanned eight over his last seven games and is tied for second in the American League in holds.
