Although Yoán Moncada went yard for the eighth time on the season, a solo-shot in the sixth inning the Los Angeles Angels still fell to Phillies 9-5. The infielder also scored twice on the evening and now hits .244 on the campaign.
Nick Martínez tossed 5⅔ innings of six-hit, two-run ball in which he also fanned two batters to lead Cincinnati’s 5-2 win over the Mets. The Cuban-American righty notched his eighth win of the season and saw his ERA descend to 4.73 on the season.
Randy Arozarena collected two hits in four trips to the plate and scored twice to do his part in Seattle’s 7-6 win over the Astros. The outfielder has been on a tear over his last seven games hitting a robust .357 over the last span.
