Yuli Gurriel collected two hits in four trips to the plate, one of them being a first inning run-scoring single in KC’s 4-2 loss to Detroit. The infielder extended his hitting streak to five games and now raised his average to .385 on the campaign. The veteran has been a key acquisition to the Royals in the quest for a postseason birth.
Nolan Arenado had a perfect night at the plate swatting three hits in as many trips to the plate, while also driving in a run and also scoring twice to do his part in St. Louis’ 10-5 thrashing of the Pirates. The Cuban-American slugger a solid .292 over his last seven games.
Adolis García went yard for the 23rd time on the season, a two-run shot in the sixth inning to account for the only scores in Texas’ 2-0 blanking of Bluejays. The outfielder from Ciego de Ávila, Cuba has knocked in 80 runs in what has been a disappointing season for the 2023 ALCS MVP.
