Brayan Rocchio Powers Guardians to 3-1 Win on Monday
Cleveland Guardians second baseman/shortstop Brayan Rocchio stepped up as an unlikely hero on Monday night, providing his team with a critical two-run homer in their 3-1 win in Arizona. His two-run blast came in the fifth inning against Zac Gallen and was just his third homer of the season. He has hit .237 with a .280 wOBA, which will establish a new career best if he can maintain it through the end of the season. In August, Rocchio is hitting .315 with a pair of homers and a .355 wOBA. Normally known for his defense, the 24-year-old is starting to be a middle-infield option in mixed leagues with his strong performance this month. The Guardians are three games back of the three teams tied for the three Wild Card spots, and they'll be counting on young hitters like Rocchio to step up as they try to stay in the playoff race down the stretch.
