José Iglesias went yard for the second and third times on the season, drove in two runs and scored twice to do his part in New York’s 7-6 victory over Colorado. The infielder who is hitting .347 has been a sparkplug for the team from Gotham’s offense.
Yandy Díaz swatted three hits in five trips to the plate and drove in a run in Tampa’s 2-0 shutout of Cleveland. The infielder has driven 45 runs on the season and is hitting .393 over the last seven games.
Nick Martínez notched his seventh hold on the season after tossing three innings of scoreless relief in Cincinnati’s 7-4 win over the Marlins. The right-hander from Miami also fanned three batters and his ERA descended to 3.93 on the campaign.
Jorge Soler collected two hits in four at-bats, including a run-scoring in the fifth inning during San Francisco’s 7-1 triumph over Minnesota. The power-hitting Cuban has driven in 16 runs this month.
