Ezequiel Tovar (COL) vs Joey Estes (RHP) 0.800 AVG, 2.200 OPS in 5 career AB | Las Vegas Ballpark | **2+ Hits (+180)** *Career: 4-for-5 · .800 · 3 XBH · 2.200 OPS* Career batting average against Estes: .800 in 5 AB.

Gleyber Torres (DET) vs Joey Cantillo (LHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.500 OPS in 6 career AB | Progressive Field | **1+ Hit (-189)** *Career: 3-for-6 · .500 · 1 HR · 1 XBH · 1.500 OPS* A 1.500 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare — and Torres owns it against Cantillo across 6 at-bats.

Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-189). > Look up any pitcher vs batter career history on the [Hitter vs Pitcher dashboard](/mlb/hitting-stats). ## 4.
