Andy Pagés swatted his 16tb homer of the season, drove in a run and also scored on an occasion in the Dodgers’ 7-3 loss to the Nationals. The outfielder is now hitting a solid .292 on the season and leads all Cubans in MLB with 52 RBIs looks to have a solid case for an All-Star Game berth.
As the only ray of sunshine on the day for the Orioles Yennier Cano tossed a scoreless inning in which he struck out the side in Baltimore’s 9-0 blanking by the Yankees. The hard-throwing righty saw his ERA descend to 4.73 on the season and has now fanned 31 batters in 26⅔ innings of work on the season, but was optioned to Triple-A early today.
Nolan Arenado went yard for the 10th time on the season, a solo-shot in the ninth inning to do his part in St. Louis’ extra-inning win over Cincinnati. The Cuban-American slugger saw his average rise to .247 and now his 351 homeruns for his career.
