Rubi Silva went yard for the first time on the season, a three-run shot in the bottom of the fifth inning, but his best efforts couldn’t stop Chinandega from falling to Rivas 7-6. The outfielder is now hitting .462 to open the season. Lorenzo Quintana also added a two-run homer of his own to help the cause for the Tigres.
Elían Leyva tossed five innings of five-hit, two-run ball to notch his first victory of the winter. The righty struck out three and Hermosillo downed Guasave 8-3. The hurler now has a 2.89 earned run average on the campaign. For the Algodoneros Yoelkis Guibert launched his second longball of the season in defeat.
In the Dominican Republic Diosbel Arias collected two hits and drove in a run via a fourth inning double to account for the Toros del Este’s only run in their 10-1 loss at the hands of the Gigantes del Cibao. The utilityman is now hitting .280 on the young campaign.
