• Mitch Garver homers and walks in loss to Royals
    Mitch Garver homered and walked in a loss Saturday to the Royals.

    Advice: Garver kept a ball just inside the left-field foul pole to pick up his seventh homer of the year. The 33-year-old also drew a walk to improve his slash to .180/.292/.348. It’s worth pointing out that he’s registered an OPS of .937 in June, however, and he’s a good bet to hit (much) better over the second half of 2024. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
