Arraez finishes with two hits in loss
Luis Arraez went 2-for-4 with a double on Friday against the Guardians. The Padres were blanked in this one, but Arraez still got his. Always an excellent source of batting average, his double was just his second extra-base hit this month. He also hasn’t drawn a walk since June 29th. He will provide you with a great average and not much else.
Fry goes 3-for-3 in CLE win
David Fry went 3-for-3 with two runs scored, and an RBI, and a walk on Friday against the Padres. Fry carried his solid All-Star game performance into the second half. He limped into the break going hitless over his last 17 at-bats before finally getting on the board on Tuesday in Texas. He’s come back to earth after a torrid April and May as his average has dropped from .351 to .290 since June 1st.
