Diosbel Arias swatted a homerun and drove in run, while also scoring twice to aid Trevor Bauer in México City’s 6-0 blanking of Tabasco. In his brief time with the team the slugger is hitting a robust .333 in the Liga Mexicana de Béisbol.
Yadir Drake had a perfect day at the plate collecting three hits in as many trips to the plate. “The Black Panther ” as he is known by the Cuban faithful also scored four times to do his part in Yucatán’s 24-2 thrashing of the Conspiradores de Querétaro. His batting average of .400 places him the top 10 of the LMB in this statistical category.
Alejandro Rivero drove in a run via a run-scoring triple in the second inning to pace Chihuahua in their 8-2 win over Jalisco. The infielder also scored three times and is hitting a robust .356 on the campaign for the Dorados.
