Yadiel Hernández left the yard in the ninth inning to help cement Dos Laredos 4-3 win over Oaxaca. The slugger hit his seventh longball of the season, has driven 38 runs and hits a robust .333. Hernández has been a solid offseason pick up for the Tecolotes.
Odrisamer Despaigne tossed a complete game, five-hit shutout of the Saraperos de Saltillo. The hurler also fanned six and watched his earned run average descend to 3.18 on the season. The right-hander also sports a shiny 1.25 WHIP on the campaign.
Alay Lago made his season debut with an RBI single in four trips to the plate to account for Quintana Roo’s only run in the Tigers’ 7-1 loss to Jalisco. The infielder comes over from Venezuela after being released by the Samanes de Aragua.
