Oakland A’s DFS SPIN
Aledmys Díaz went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI on Tuesday, propelling the Athletics to a 5-4 victory over the visiting Royals. The 33-year-old infielder plated Zack Gelof with a sacrifice fly in the opening inning, increasing the A’s early lead to 2-0. He then delivered a two-run double in the third inning that proved to be the difference in the ballgame. On the season, Díaz is hitting a paltry .227/.286/.331 with only four homers, 22 RBI and one stolen base.
Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Trayce Thompson hit a two-run homer Wednesday as the White Sox edged the Mariners 5-4 in 10 innings. The winning run scored when Cal Raleigh tried to pick off automatic runner Tim Anderson at second base, and J.P. Crawford hit Anderson in the helmet with the throw after Anderson took off for third. Thompson’s homer came four innings earlier. It was his first extra-base hit in 11 games since arriving from the Dodgers in the Lance Lynn trade. He’ll be used primarily against lefties the rest of the way.
