Jorge Soler hits a game-winning double.

Jorge Soler went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, and three RBIs in a 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday. The pivotal moment was the bases-clearing double that transformed a 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 lead against Jeff Hoffman.




This hit brought the veteran slugger's season total to eight doubles and 16 RBIs. Soler hadn't been impressive with the bat in the first 35 games of the season and had only two hits in May before Wednesday's game. With these two hits, the veteran slugger ended a streak of 17 consecutive games without a multi-hit performance. During that period, Soler batted just .154 and was in a 1-for-15 slump before Wednesday.





Yoán Moncada hits another home run on Wednesday.

Yoán Moncada went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over Toronto. Moncada has played two games since coming back from an almost month-long stay on the injured list, hitting a home run in each game and driving in four runs. The veteran third baseman's home run on Wednesday was a 386-foot shot to right field, marking his team's first run. Moncada has faced challenges with staying healthy in recent seasons, but he has the opportunity to regain significance as the Angels' main third baseman if he can overcome his injury problems.




Aroldis Chapman earns his fifth save.

Aroldis Chapman secured the save in Wednesday's 6-4 victory over the Rangers, conceding a solo home run and a walk while striking out one batter in the ninth inning. Chapman entered the game in the ninth with the Red Sox leading 6-3, but Boston's lead was quickly reduced to two when Josh Jung hit the first pitch deep to left-center field for a solo home run. Chapman later issued a walk in the inning, but the seasoned closer managed to conclude the game with an eight-pitch strikeout of Blaine Crim, with two of his sinkers reaching 103 mph. In this outing, he threw four pitches exceeding 102 mph, including a season-high 103.8 mph on his sinker. At times, he appears ageless and maintains a strong grip on the closer role in Boston. Chapman has successfully converted all five save opportunities this season, posting a 2.19 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and an 18:5 K:BB ratio over 12.1 innings.





Adolis García brings in two runs on Wednesday.

Adolis García went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in Wednesday's 6-4 defeat against the Rangers. Adolis put the Rangers ahead 2-0 in the fourth inning by hitting a solo homer off Tanner Houck to left field. He contributed another run in the fifth with a sacrifice fly to center field. Adolis has been performing well recently, hitting 6-for-10 with one home run and five RBIs over his last three games, and his OPS is now .706 in 138 plate appearances.




Miguel Vargas hit two doubles during Wednesday's loss to the Royals.

In the ninth inning, Miguel Vargas scored the sole run for the White Sox following his second double of the game, which was also his eighth of the season. The former top prospect has recorded hits in five of his last seven games, raising his slash line to .225/.320/.333.



On Wednesday, Randy Arozarena reached base three times.

Randy Arozarena reached base three times on Wednesday for the Mariners in their 6-5 win over the A's. He recorded a single, walked twice, and scored a run before being taken out of the game. Despite experiencing some discomfort, Arozarena was able to play in left field for this matchup.



Yariel Rodríguez was credited with a hold.

The Blue Jays were defeated 5-4 by the Angels on Wednesday. However, Yariel Rodríguez delivered a 1 1/3 scoreless inning and earned his third hold of the season. He gave up a single but struck out two batters. His ERA has decreased to 5.17 for the year, but he must continue delivering performances like this to remain at the MLB level.



Yandy Díaz was included in the lineup as the designated hitter on Wednesday and contributed with a hit.

Yandy Díaz's presence in the lineup was a good sign after he unexpectedly exited in the sixth inning of Tuesday's game because of right hip tightness caused by an awkward swing. He ended the game with one hit in four at-bats and a strikeout.



On Wednesday, Luis Robert Jr. recorded a hit.

In Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to the Royals, Luis Robert Jr. recorded a hit in four at-bats and drove in a run. Following a day of rest, he secured his 16th RBI of the season. Although the Cuban outfielder didn't steal any bases, he continues to lead MLB in steals, sharing the top spot with Oneil Cruz of the Pirates, both with 15.




Lourdes Gurriel Jr. did not get any hits on Wednesday.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the 7-1 defeat against the Mets on Wednesday. This was disappointing following his impressive 3-for-4 showing on Tuesday, where he accumulated 7 total bases. Nevertheless, his bat is heating up this season, boasting a slash line of .333/.379/.667 with 2 home runs and 5 RBIs over his last seven games.



José Iglesias hitless again.

José Iglesias is on the verge of being designated for assignment by the Padres. He went 0-for-4 in another close game against the Yankees on Wednesday. The Padres were defeated 4-3 in extra innings. Iglesias is now 3-for-32 in his last 10 games.



Andy Pagés added two more hits.

Andy Pagés had a performance of 2-for-5, driving in a run and scoring once in the Dodgers' 10-1 victory over the Marlins on Wednesday. He also recorded a strikeout. This is the kind of consistent performance the Dodgers expect from Pagés. Although he was placed in the cleanup spot, which isn't his usual position, it serves to support Freddy Freeman by having a strong hitter following him.



Yordan Álvarez was diagnosed with a muscle strain on the top of his right hand.

The injury was initially described as “inflammation,” but it has now been identified as a strain causing the inflammation. Astros manager Joe Espada referred to the diagnosis as “good news,” and the team remains hopeful that Yordan's time on the IL will be brief. However, he will need to allow the strained muscle or tendon to recover, which could take over a week depending on the strain's severity.



Edgar Quero was not included in the lineup on Wednesday.

Edgar Quero was not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Kansas City. He had started the previous three games and five of the last six, but he will take a break on Wednesday.
