J.P. Arencibia has monster game as Rays rout O's
by Mike Werner | Tue, Sep 1st 10:53pm EDT
Filling in for the injured Curt Casali, J.P. Arencibia made his presence known Tuesday night, going 3-for-4 with a home run and a whopping six RBI to help the Rays blast the Orioles 11-2.
Fantasy Impact:
Arencibia is used to having games like this, tallying a seven-RBI game last season with the Rangers, and another six-RBI game back in 2012 while playing for the Blue Jays. Arencibia struck a 1-1 pitch into left center off of Orioles starter Chris Tillman in the fourth inning to drive in his first two of the game, and give the Rays a 3-0 lead. In the fifth, Arencibia laced another two-RBI single, to widen the advantage for the Rays to 8-0. Then in the seventh, Arencibia put the icing on the cake, blasting a two-run shot over the center field wall to make it 10-0. The home run was Arencibia's first in a Rays uniform, and he should split at-bats with fellow backstop Rene Rivera until Curt Casali returns, or possibly the rest of the season. The only way Arencibia is useful would be in DFS if you're punting and he has a good looking matchup.
