Lourdes Gurriel Jr swatted his fourth longball of the season and knocked in three runs, while also scoring twice in Arizona’s 13-11 loss to the Cubs in a shootout at Wrigley Field. The outfielder from Sancti Spíritus, Cuba has now driven in 13 runs on the campaign.
Andy Ibáñez went yard for the second time on the season, a fourth inning solo-shot to lead Detroit to a 7-3 win over Kansas City. The infielder saw his average rise to .171 on the season.
Carlos Rodón tossed six scoreless innings in which he only allowed two hits and fanned nine. After two disastrous starts the Cuban-American hurler notched his second win of the young campaign and watched his ERA descend to 4.34.
