Although he didn’t factor in the decision Roenis Elías was impeccable on the mound. The left-hander from Guantánamo, Cuba tossed six innings of five-hit, one-run ball in SSG’s 4-3 loss to Samsung. The hurler fanned two batters and now sports a 4.50 ERA on the campaign.
Guillermo Heredia also helped the cause in the Landers’ loss going 2-for-4 with a rub scored. The outfielder is hitting .360, which leaves him first in the Korean Baseball Organization in that statistical category. Heredia continues to impress at the playe in his second year with the ballclub.
Río Gómez notched his 17th hold on the season to help secure a Wei-Chaun 7-3 win over Rakuten. The Cuban-American lefty tossed two innings of scoreless baseball and struck out two to watch his earned run average descend to a sterling 0.88 on the season.
