Mike Zunino went 3-5 Friday night hitting a solo bomb, a double and a single in Seattle's win over the Yankees. He had one RBI and one run scored.
The home run was Zunino's 19th of the year. The 26-year-old catcher now has a very modest three game hitting streak, the first time he has hit safely in thee consecutive games since June. His sturdy .483 slugging percentage makes him a viable option at the catcher position for fantasy GM's that can suffer his .232 batting average.

Edwin Diaz banks save
Edwin Diaz worked around a walk, yielding no runs on no hits over an inning of work to collect his 30th save in Seattle's 2-1 victory over the Yankees Friday night. He struck out one.
Diaz was summoned in the 11th inning to protect Seattle's 2-1 lead. He threw 11 of his 20 pitches for strikes. The young fireballer has on occasion lost command of the strike zone, the major reason for his inflated 3.51 ERA. But for the most part, he has been electric. He now sports a quality 1.19 WHIP for the year, and has a stupendous 76 strike outs over 56.1 innings.

Yonder Alonso crushes game winning home run
Yonder Alonso hit a solo shot that proved to be the game winning hit in Seattle's 2-1 victory over New York Friday night.
Alonso came in to pinch hit for Guillermo Heredia in the ninth inning and walked. He then came to bat in the top of the 11th frame with two outs, and deposited an Aroldis Chapman 100 mph into the center field sits for the game winner. It was the 30-year-old Cuban's 24th home run on the year. He is now hitting .272/.368/.519, and he should continue to pay dividends for fantasy owners as the season winds down.
