Ketel Marte has 2 Homer

Since April 23, Smith has only been 8 for 46 (.174) with an additional hit.

Gurriel has now started to warm up. In his last 13 games he strikes with three homers and 10 RBIs .333/.370/.627.

“Much better (bats),” said Lovullo about Gurriel. “(He) checks the parking spaces in counts; one or two strikes on him, he comes back into counts and he does not miss the ball he is looking for. He is a good bat. He is a really good bat. And I think he has made some really good adjustments.”
