Zach Neto belted a three-run seventh inning homerun to do his part in the Los Angeles Angels 13-5 thrashing of their cross-town rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cuban-American shortstop has now gone yard 12 times and driven in 31 runs on the year.
Yandy Díaz collected a hit in four trips to the plate including a third inning single during Tampa Bay’s 4-1 loss to the Miami Marlins. The Cuban slugger saw his average fall to .325 on the season which places him as the American League leader in this statistical category on the campaign.
Randy Arozarena swatted a run-scoring single in the seventh inning, but that was not enough to propel the Seattle Mariners to a win. The team fell 5-4 to the Detroit Tigers and the mult-talented outfielder saw his average rise to .285 on the season.
