Palacios hits two-run home run
Richie Palacios went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Rays win over the Blue Jays on Friday. Palacios has become a highly productive lineup fixture for the Rays, only sitting against three right-handed pitchers this season. The home run was his fourth along with six stolen bases. Friday also marked his ninth start at second base.
Schneider hits two-run shot in loss
Davis Schneider hit a two-run home run in a loss to the Rays on Friday. As has been the story for most of this season, Schneider was the lone bright spot for the Jays’ offense on Friday. The home run was his fifth of the season and his 13 BB% and 145 wRC+ suggest he could move up in order permanently if the Blue Jays ever want to relieve George Springer of his lead-off duties.
