Although the Piratas de Campeche fell to Tabasco 11-9, Luis Avilés Jr continues to rake in the Liga Mexicana de Béisbol. The infielder who is working on an eight game hitting streak knocked in four runs via two doubles in the third and ninth innings. The slugger now hits a robust .348 on the season.
Diosbel Arias swatted three doubles in five trips to the plate and drove in two runs, but México City was edged by Puebla 10-9. The ex-Rangers farmhand is hitting a robust .327 and has an OPS .882 on the season. Arias is looking like he will be handed third baseman
Leonys Martín and Yurisbel Gracial combined for three hits, three runs batted in, while also scoring once to lead Querétaro to 7-3 over León. The sluggers are hitting .330 and .318 respectively.
Increíblemente Leonys Martín y Elian Leyva no fueron incluidos en el roster de la Zona Sur para el juego de estrellas de la #LMB.
Leonys es segundo en cuadrangulares (12), sexto en empujadas (27) y tercero en OPS con 1.179
