Yennier Cano notched his first save of the season after tossing ⅔ of an inning in relief to preserve Baltimore’s 2-1 win over Cincinnati. The hurler saw his ERA descend to 2.08 and he now has 17 strikeouts in 17 ⅔ innings. The 2023 All-Star is trending toward another selection to the mid-season classic.
Nolan Arenado had a perfect day at the plate going 3-for-3, while also knocking in three runs via a three-run homer in the fifth innings and also scoring on an occasion, but the Cardinals still fell to the White Sox 6-5. The Cuban-American third baseman is now hitting .296 on the campaign.
Rookie sensation Andy Pagés continues to torture opposing pitching. In last night’s game the outfielder went yard among his two hits and five at-bats, while also driving in a run and scoring twice in LA’s 11-2 win over Atlanta. The native of Pinar del Río, Cuba is now hitting .338 and has knocked in 12 runs in 65 ABs.
