Players of the Day for Thursday, July 26, 2018
American League
As it turns out, the Boston Red Sox are human.
Kyle Gibson proved as much, limiting the BoSox to four hits and one run over eight innings in a 2-1 Minnesota win at Fenway Park.
Even with the loss, Boston holds the best record in the majors, at 71-33. They lead the Yankees by 4 1/2 games in the AL East.
National League
Nick Williams, Maikel Franco and Rhys Hoskins each homered twice as the Phillies won their third straight, downing the Reds, 7-3, in Cincinnati.
Carlos Santana started the seven home run barrage with a two-run belt in the first. All of the other homers were solo shots.
The win added to the Phillies' lead to 2 1/2 games in the NL East as Atlanta lost to the Dodgers, 8-2.
Hoskins' homers were his 19th and 20th and upped his RBI total to 67. Franco has 17 homers on the year, Williams, 14.
Game two of the four-game series is slated for a 7:10 pm EDT start on Friday.
