Luis Robert Jr laced a two-run run-scoring single in the bottom of the eighth in four at-bats to seal a New York Mets 4-2 win over the Miami Marlins. The Cuban outfielder upped his average to .202 and has now in 12 runs on the campaign.
Yandy Díaz collected two hits in four trips to the plate and drove in a run via a third inning single to do his part in the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers. The slugger broke a slump that saw him hitting .231 over his last seven games.
Raisel Iglesias tossed a scoreless ninth inning to notch his the 23rd save of the campaign to help secure a Braves 5-4 triumph over the Washington Nationals. The right-hander saw his earned run average descend to 2.31 on the season and is now 24 saves short of 300 for his career.
Aroldis Chapman fanned two of the four batters he faced in a scoreless ninth inning to secure his 26th save of the season during a Red Sox’s 5-4 victory over the Athletics. The flamethrowing left-hander now sports a miniscule 1.72 on the season and is now seven saves short of 400 for his career.
