Semien hits solo home run in loss
Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with a solo homer on Wednesday in a loss to the Astros. Semien hooked a line-drive around the left-field foul pole in the sixth inning to break up a potential shutout. It was his second big fly in his last six games since the start of August and gives him 17 round-trippers on the year.
Chisholm Jr. hits another home run for Yankees

He’s up to 18 homers and 24 steals this season, putting him on the doorstep of his first-ever 20-20 campaign.
