Yandy Díaz launched his fourth homer of the season drove in a run and scored twice in Tampa’s 10-6 defeat at the hands of Yankees. The defending AL batting champion watched his average rise to .250 on the campaign.
Nick Castellanos went yard for the fourth time on the season and drove in three runs, but his best efforts couldn’t save Philadelphia from a 7-6 loss to the lowly Marlins. The Cuban- American outfielder has knocked in six runs over the last seven games.
Yordan Álvarez swatted two hits in five trips to the plate and scored a run to do his part in Houston’s 9-3 thrashing of the Detroit Tigers. The slugger from Las Tunas, Cuba is hitting .228 over his last seven games.
