 He's obviously a really good hitter and swinging the bat really well right now, and we've had a hard time containing him. Alejandro Kirk slapped a two-run double in the fourth off Cortez, who allowed three runs over four in the third innings. Winning pitcher Chris Bassett gave up an unearned run and six hits while striking out eight over six innings. I'm Dave Ferry. Other winners in the American League, Cleveland, Baltimore, the Angels, and Minnesota. With sports, I'm Andrew Stewart.
