The Dominican Julio Rodr\u00edguez shone again with the bat, hitting an impressive 436-foot home run that led the Seattle Mariners’ 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves this Wednesday at T-Mobile Park.<\/p>\n
Rodr\u00edguez showed his emotion in the sixth inning, sending the ball with an exit velocity of 110.4 miles per hour towards the T-Mobile Pen. After the hit, the center fielder celebrated with a shout and a striking “bat flip” that ignited the Seattle fans.<\/p>\n
The Dominican’s offense backed the outstanding performance of pitcher Bryan Woo, who silenced one of the most dangerous lineups in the Major Leagues, achieving nine strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Seattle also had a key play in the eighth inning thanks to its video team. After an attempt to reverse the play by Venezuelan Eduard Bazardo on Dominican Jorge Mateo, the Mariners requested a review and managed to overturn the initial decision, obtaining an important second out that stopped Atlanta’s threat.<\/p>\n
Later, Josh Naylor added a safe run after scoring with a double by Cole Young, who extended his team-leading RBIs with 20.<\/p>\n
In relief, Puerto Rican Jos\u00e9 A. Ferrer earned his second save of the season and became the first Seattle reliever to pitch for three consecutive days this year.<\/p>\n
Major League Baseball announced a six-game suspension for Dominican pitcher Framber Valdez of the Detroit Tigers for intentionally throwing at Trevor Story during Tuesday’s game against the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n
MLB also reported that manager A.J. Hinch was suspended for one game and fined due to the actions that occurred in the game held at Comerica Park.<\/p>\n
Valdez appealed the sanction, so he will be able to remain active while the disciplinary process unfolds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
