Randy Arozarena collected two hits in three trips to the plate, while also driving in three runs vía a fifth inning single and an eighth inning double to lead Seattle in their 14-6 thrashing of the Chicago Cubs. The outfielder has now knocked in 33 runs on the season.
Miguel Vargas swatted two hits and knocked in two runs in Chicago’s 4-2 win over the Bluejays. The Cuban infielder also drove in two runs via an eighth inning double to pace the team from the Windy City on the day and now hits .243 on the campaign.
Yariel Rodríguez in a loss tossed a scoreless inning in which he fanned two of the three batters he faced and also saw his ERA descend to a miniscule 2.61 on the season. The hurler has a very good case for an All-Star Game berth this season.
Romy González went yard for the third time on the season, drove in a run and also scored on an occasion, but his best efforts could not prevent a Boston 9-5 loss at the hands of the Giants. The Cuban-American utilityman now hits a solid .305 on the year.
