Isaac Paredes was the star of the MLB game on Tuesday, thanks to his impressive display of power against the New York Yankees.
The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Bronx team by a score of five runs to four, and Paredes was the star of the night, going 4-3 with 3 home runs and 4 runs batted in.
Here are the young player’s three four-corner hits!
With this superb performance with the bat, the 23-year-old infielder becomes the first Mexican-born player to hit 3 home runs in a game against the Yankees.
It will be key for the Aztec player to maintain his strong performance in order for his team to have a better chance of competing in the tough American League East Division. The Tampa squad began the day on Wednesday, June 22 in fourth place with a record of 37 wins and 31 losses.
For their part, the Yankees are not bitter about this loss, as they still have a 12-game cushion over their closest rival, the Toronto Blue Jays.
What is Isaac Paredes’ contract with the Tampa Bay Rays like?
Para la temporada 2022 de las Grandes Ligas, Paredes tiene un “modesto” salario anual de 700 mil dólares. Si se muestra consistente con el madero, seguramente logrará terminar de consolidarse en las mayores; algo que le permitiría firmar un pacto por mucho más dinero, ya sea con Rays u otro equipo que esté buscando un toletero de sus características.
