Odrisamer Despaigne was masterful tossing six innings of four-hit, one-run ball in Yucatán’s 6-4 loss to Tijuana. The Cuban right-hander also fanned 10, but the Leones bullpen blew a 3-1 lead for the hurler and his ERA descended to 3.86 on the season.
Henry Urrutia swatted three hits in four trips to the plate, knocked in a run and also scored a run in 9-3 loss to México City. The native of Las Tunas, Cuba is now very quietly hitting a robust .351 on the season to go along with 21 RBIs.
Yoan López notched his sixth hold of the season after pitching a scoreless inning in relief during Unión Laguna’s 5-2 win over Tabasco. The 2024 All-Star now sports a 1.77 earned run average on the campaign and has been an anchor in the Algodoneros bullpen.
