Diosbel Arias knocked in a run and stole a base in four trips to the plate to do his part in los Toros del Este’s 7-2 win over the Águilas Cibaeñas. The Cuban infielder has now driven in five runs and is now hitting .276 on the young campaign in the LIDOM
Henry Urrutia swatted a hit in two at-bats and drove in a run, but his best efforts couldn’t prevent a Gigantes 5-2 loss to Licey. The first baseman is starting to hit his stride with lumber and hits .275 on the season.
Orlando Rodríguez tossed three innings of scoreless ball, allowed three hits and retired four via the strikeout. Though he didn’t factor in the decision the right-hander has yet to allow a run in 5 ⅔ innings pitched on the season. The Gigantes de Carolina downed Ponce 4-1.
