Luis Robert Jr went yard for the eighth time on the season, a second inning solo-shot in the White Sox’s 4-1 loss to the Diamondbacks. The Cuban slugger is now hitting a miniscule .185 and has driven in 32 runs on the season.
Raisel Iglesias notched his ninth save of the season after tossing ⅔ of an inning in which he did not allow a run and fanned a batter to secure the Braves 7-4 win over the Mets. The right-hander from the Isle of Youth saw his ERA descend to 5.65 on the campaign.
Andy Pagés swatted two hits in five trips to the plate, but knocked in a run on a fielder’s choice to do his part in the Dodgers’ 9-7 victory over the Rockies. The outfielder now leads all Cubans in MLB with 53 runs batted in on the season.
