  • Mauricio Dubon clubs two-run homer in win Friday
    Mauricio Dubon clubbed a two-run homer on Friday night, helping to power the Astros to a 4-0 victory over the Tigers.

    Advice: The game had been a scoreless pitcher’s duel heading to the sixth inning, but the Astros finally broke through on an RBI triple from Alex Bregman and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Yordan Alvarez. Three batters later, Dubon crushed a 371-foot (104.7 mph EV) two-run homer on a first-pitch changeup from Tarik Skubal that effectively put the game away. He finished the night 1-for-3 and is now hitting a cool .302/.327/.421 with three long balls and 23 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:09 pm

  • Colt Keith collects two hits in loss to Astros
    Colt Keith went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles as the Tigers were shut out by the Astros on Friday evening in Houston.

    Advice: As a team, the Tigers were only able to muster five total hits against Hunter Brown and company on Friday night, with Keith the only member of the squad to have more than one. The 22-year-old’s bat has started to heat up after a miserable start to his MLB career, but he’s still slashing an underwhelming .222/.273/.284 with just two homers, 19 RBI and three stolen bases in 60 games on the season.

  • Goes yard in win
    Dubon went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Friday's victory over the Tigers.

    Advice: Dubon popped a 371-foot blast of Tarik Skubal in the sixth inning for his third homer of the season. The Houston utility man drew the start at first base -- his third this season -- after the Astros released Jose Abreu earlier in the day. Jon Singleton will likely see most of the action at first base, but the move does give Dubon another path to playing time. The 29-year-old sports a .301/.327/.404 slash line in 165 plate appearances with 21 runs scored and 23 RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:09 pm

  • Enmanuel Valdez plates lone run in loss to Yankees
    Enmanuel Valdez doubled and drove in the Red Sox’ lone run in Friday night’s loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder smacked an RBI double off of the center field wall off of Luis Gil in the fourth inning, pulling the Red Sox to within two runs at 3-1. That would be as close as they would get. He also drew a walk in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-2. On the season, Valdez is hitting just .203/.246/.407 with five homers and 23 RBI.
