Kelenic hits three-run homer vs. Phillies
Jarred Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk, and a stolen base on Sunday against the Phillies. Kelenic has been a revelation since being inserted as the Braves’ lead-off hitter. He’s batting .298 with six homers, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 21 games as the lead-off man. On the season, his OPS is .772 which would be higher than that of any player on the Mariners.
Suarez finishes with three-hit day, including HR
Eugenio Suárez finished 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and a three-run double in leading the Diamondbacks to a 9-1 drubbing of the Padres on Sunday. The homer was his just 350 feet and would have left only five of the 30 ballparks, but Suárez deserves some good fortune. He had one more RBI today than in his previous 20 starts combined, and it was just his second game this year with at least three runs driven in. He’s batting .210/.298/.339 overall.
