Guillermo Heredia collected three hits in five at-bats, while also driving in three runs and scoring on three occasions to lead the SSG Landers to an 8-7 win over the Hanwha Hawks. The outfielder from Matanzas, Cuba is now slashing .393/.432/.538/.970 and has also hit four longballs while also driving in 22 runs on the season.
Heredia leads the Korean League in hitting, while also being in the top of the Asian circuit in OPS, slugging and RBIs. The outfielder without a doubt has been the team’s best hitter on the campaign.
Río Gómez tossed two scoreless innings in relief in Wei-Chaun’s 4-2 loss to Brothers. The right-hander from Miami also fanned two during his outing to watch his ERA fall to 2.12 on the season. The Cuban-American hurler is also tied for the CPBL lead with six holds.
