Henderson hits three-run homer
Gunnar Henderson went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run against the Rays on Saturday. Henderson’s home run was his 20th of the year. He hit a three-run home run off Phil Maton in the ninth inning. Henderson is hitting .263 with a .947 OPS and 45 RBI on the season.
Diaz has two-hit day vs. O’s
Yandy Diaz went 2-for-4 against the Orioles on Saturday. It was a quiet afternoon for the Rays as they were shutout. Diaz had the only two hits for Tampa Bay. After winning the batting title in the American League last year, he’s hitting just .245 so far this season. Diaz’ .273 BABIP this year is well below his .320 career BABIP. That doesn’t explain his lack of power this year as his .105 ISO is way down from his .192 ISO last season.
