Yadiel Hernández went yard for the fourth time on the campaign, a solo shot in the eighth inning and also knocked in a run with a sac fly in the fifth to do his part in Monterrey’s 8-7 win over Dos Laredos in extra innings. The outfielder saw his average rise to .321 on the season.
Maikel Serrano also deposited a ball in the seats for the second time on the season to be a catalyst in Tabasco’s 8-1 thrashing of Guadalajara. For the native of Pinar del Río it was his 14th RBI on the season. Roel Santos also got in the act with a hit, two runs batted in and a run scored in five trips to the plate. The speedster saw his average fall to .282 on the campaign.
Henry Urrutia did his part by collecting three hits, driving in a run and also scoring a run in Saltillo’s duplicate 5-3 victories in their twin billing with Oaxaca. The reigning league batting champion is now hitting a solid .299 on the season.
