Yesterday’s Star – Geovany Soto, Catcher, Chicago Cubs: Soto delivered a pinch hit, three-run walk-off homerun to cap a four-run rally and send the Cubs to a stunning 5-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants. It was Soto’s first career walk-off hit.
Yesterday’s Fail – The Texas Rangers: Got shut out 7-0 by the 29-53 Houston Astros. ‘Nuff said.
