Dingler hits triple in loss
Dillon Dingler went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Cubs. Dingler singled in the second inning to plate Spencer Torkelson and put the Tigers up 1-0. It’s just the fifth RBI of the season for Dingler, who was playing in his 10th game since being promoted to the big league squad back on July 29. He entered the day batting .161 on the year and can be left on waiver wires despite the multi-hit night.
Bellinger finishes with double, two RBI in win
Cody Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Tigers. Bellinger smoked a two-run double in the fifth inning to give the Cubs a 2-1 lead over the Tigers. The veteran outfielder has now hit safely in back-to-back games but is slashing .250/.305/.442 on the month with just four extra-base hits. Injuries could be partially to blame for Bellinger’s line. He’s been playing through a sore hamstring but is still productive enough to warrant putting in fantasy lineups.
