Miguel Vargas went yard for 28th time on the season, his only hit in four trips to the plate to do his part during the Chicago White Sox’s 7-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The infielder from Havana has now driven in 72 runs during a career year.
Although he gave up a run Raisel Iglesias notched his 25th save of the season and helped secure the Atlanta Braves 5-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The right-hander from the Isle of Youth saw his earned run average ascend to 3.15 on the season and has now saved 319 games in his illustrious career.
Andy Pagés swatted his 21st longball of the season, a ninth inning solo-shot and his only hit of the day in three at-bats during the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 6-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The outfielder from Pinar del Río has now knocked 78 runs to go along with a .271 average on the season.
Randy Arozarena left the yard for the 17th time on the campaign a solo-homerun during the Seattle Mariners’ 3-2 triumph over the Houston Astros. With that longball Arozarena is now three homeruns of sixth straight 20-20 season and also saw his average rise to .276 on the year.
