Although he only pitched ⅓ of an inning Yennier Cano managed to notch his 12th hold of the campaign in Baltimore’s 4-1 triumph over the White Sox. The hard-throwing hurler is now tied for first in the American League in holds and sports a 1.35 WHIP on the campaign.
Andy Ibáñez swatted a two-run in the second inning during his two trips to the plate in Detroit’s 14-11 win over the Bluejays. The infielder from the Isle of Youth is hitting a solid .273 over his last 15 games.
Nick Martínez tossed 4⅓ scoreless innings to win his second game of the season in Cincinnati’s 4-1 victory over the Dodgers. The Cuban-American righty also fanned three and his ERA fell to 4.37 on the season.
