Arrighetti was terrific, allowing only 2 hits on the night. He threw 100 pitches, 61 for strikes. He generated an incredible 20 swings and misses.<\/p>\n
Arrighetti was backed by Yordan Alvarez, who was 2-for-3 with a double and his 7th HR of the season. He scored twice and also drew a walk.<\/p>\n
Alvarez is now batting .333 on the season with a 1.250 OPS. He has 7 HR and 17 RBI.<\/p>\n
Also of note, struggling reliever Bryan Abreu threw 1.1 innings of scoreless and hitless baseball. He walked one and struck out 2.<\/p>\n
Enyel De Los Santos pitched a 1-2-3 9th for his second save of the season, and second in as many nights. He struck out 2, needing only 14 pitches to complete the inning.<\/p>\n
