Yadir Drake had a perfect night collecting three hits in as many trips to the plate and also knocked in two runs to lead Yucatán’s offense in their 11-1 thrashing of Campeche. The “Black Panther ” as he is called by the Cuban faithful now hits a robust .336 on the season.
In defeat Yuniesky Larduet launched a triple and drove in a run for the Pirates to account for his ball club’s only run. The speedster from Las Tunas, Cuba has also stolen four bases on the campaign and also hit .336.
To celebrate his All-Star Roel Santos banged out three hits, drove in a run and scored on an occasion to do his part in Tabasco’s 10-5 win over Saltillo. The outfielder from Granma, Cuba is also second in the LMB with three triples and sports a solid .338 OBP.
