Yandy Díaz belted his 12th longball of the year, a two-run shot in three trips to the plate to lead Tampa Bay in their 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. The native of Sagua la Grande, Cuba leads the American League with a .325 batting average.
Zach Neto left the yard for the 13th time on the season and the second straight day, a solo-homerun in the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 loss to the Houston Astros. With his 10 stolen bases the Cuban-American shortstop is half way to another 20-20 season.
Randy Arozarena laced three hits and drove in a run for the third day in a row via an eighth inning single to do his part in the Seattle Mariners 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The multi-tooled outfielder has now driven in 30 runs on the season.
Adolis García went downtown for the seventh time on the campaign, a two-run second inning shot to get in on the act during the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 triumph over the Toronto Bluejays. The Cuban slugger has now homered three times in his last seven games.
