Jorge Martínez tossed five scoreless innings in relief where he struck out seven and only allowed a hit to record the first victory in the history of the Conspiradores de Querétaro, a 6-1 decision over the Tigres de Quintana Roo. Martínez left his first outing with a sterling 0.00 earned run average.
Yurisbel Gracial and Leonys Martín homered to help the cause, while Roel Santos was the sparkplug for the Mexican squad, collecting two hits, stealing a base and scoring a run for the Conspiradores. The two sluggers are hitting .231 and .083 respectively and Santos is hitting a robust .364.
Maikel Serrano went yard for the first time on the season, a two-run shot in the second inning in Jalisco’s 15-13 loss to Aguacalientes. The slugger from Pinar del Río has started off the campaign hitting a robust .500 and figures to be a key bat for the Charros this season.
