The young infielder also drove in another run via an eighth inning single and scored three times to watch his average surge to a robust .350 on the season.
For Tijuana and in a loss Cuban-American JC Escarra went two-for-five and scored on an occasion. In two games so far with the Toros the outfielder is hitting a solid .300 on the season.
