<\/p>\n\n\nSANTO DOMINGO. \u2013 Star third baseman Manny Machado had an outstanding offensive performance, hitting two home runs and driving in five runs, although he couldn’t prevent the San Diego Padres’ defeat against the Arizona Diamondbacks in their game held in Mexico City.\n\n\n

The decisive moment came in the seventh inning, when Tim Tawa hit a grand slam that led a six-run rally to secure the victory for the Arizona team and split the two-game series.\n\nMachado finished the game 5-2, raising his total to four home runs and 16 RBIs on the season. Fernando Tatis Jr. and Ram\u00f3n Laureano also contributed to the offense, each hitting a single.\n\n\n

Dominicans shine with the bat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nIn Toronto, outfielder Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez hit a two-run home run that made the difference in the Toronto Blue Jays’ 4-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians. His compatriot Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also shone with three hits in the game.\n\nIn Chicago, Dominican Jos\u00e9 Tena became a hero by hitting a solo home run in extra innings to give the Washington Nationals a 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.\n\n\n

Boston Responds After Cora’s Departure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nIn Baltimore, the Boston Red Sox reacted positively after the departure of their manager Alex Cora by defeating the Orioles 5-3. For the losing side, Dominican Samuel Basallo hit his fourth home run of the season.\n\n\n

Rockies sweep the Mets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nIn New York, the Colorado Rockies completed the sweep in a doubleheader against the New York Mets, with victories of 3-1 and 3-0. In those games, Juan Soto and Ronny Mauricio had offensive participation, although without a great impact on the final result.\n\nThe day left Dominican prominence in both batting and decisive moments, on a date full of action in the Major Leagues.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
