Luis Robert went yard for the first time on the campaign, a sixth inning two-run shot to do his part in a White Sox 3-2 win over the Red Sox. The outfielder has driven in four runs and is hitting .178 on the young season.
Nick Castellanos swatted two doubles in three trips to the plate and knocked in two runs to pace Philadelphia to a 4-1 win over the Cardinals. The Cuban-American slugger has now blasted five doubles on the campaign.
Yennier Cano continues to dominate in relief, during yesterday’s Baltimore 5-4 win over the Bluejays the right-hander tossed a scoreless inning in relief giving him now 6⅓ stanzas without allowing a run to open the season. The hurler also notched his second hold of the year.
