Diaz collects three hits in loss to Reds
Elias Díaz went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and three RBI on Wednesday in the Rockies’ loss to the Reds. Díaz did most of his damage in the early stages of the contest when he kicked off the scoring with a first-inning RBI ground out before adding a solo shot in the fifth inning — his fifth long ball of the season — and also chipping in a run-scoring single in the seventh inning. The 33-year-old veteran backstop is quietly hitting .306 with 20 runs scored, five homers and 27 RBI this season through 51 games.
Arenado starting to find power stroke?
Nolan Arenado slugged a solo homer on Wednesday, lifting the Cardinals to a 4-2 victory over the Astros. Arenado supplied a key insurance run for the Cardinals’ bullpen with a sixth-inning solo shot off Astros starter Ronel Blanco. It was his sixth round-tripper of the season and third time he’s gone deep in his last seven contests since May 28. The 33-year-old remains stuck in one of the most challenging extended power outages of his career, but he’s shown a bit of a spark lately, and might finally be turning things around. We’ll see.
