And Neto came through with a two-run blast on an 0-1 fastball from right-hander Elvis Alvarado, depositing it a projected 391 feet to left. It was also the fourth homer in six games for Neto, who is red-hot like Guzman. “It’s always fun hitting a game-winning homer or any big hit, not only for me but for everybody in this clubhouse,” Neto said. “But it's so fun to watch \[Guzman\
