Jasso has hits in eight of his last nine games over which he is 13-for-36 with 4 XBH, 8 RBI, and 2 HR. Jasso picked up his team-leading 13th multi-hit game of the season.

C Rafael Flores (3-for-5, 3 RBI, 3 R, HR, K) homered in back-to-back games with a two-run homer in the first inning. Flores has hit homers in consecutive games for the third time this season (4/5-4/6 @HFD, 4/27 vs. HFD and 4/29 @RIC). Flores notched his team-leading 10th multi-RBI game this season.
