Yanquiel Fernández swatted his fourth homerun of the season, a solo-shot amongst the two hits he had on the day in Colorado’s loss to Miami 9-7. The Cuban slugger also scored twice on the day and saw his average rise to .250 on the season.
In his rookie season in the majors Fernández has also driven in 11 runs and sports a slash line .289/.391/.681. Expect the outfielder to work on his craft and be ready for next season in order to take a bigger role in the rebuilding club’s offense.
Yennier Cano tossed a scoreless inning of relief in which he struck out a batter during the Orioles’ 7-0 shutout loss to the New York Yankees. The right-hander from Ciego de Ávila, Cuba has a 3.38 earned run average over his last seven games.
