Vladimir Gutierrez tossed five innings of four-hit, no-run ball and also fanned four in the Águilas Cibaeñas’ 9-3 thrashing of the Leones del Escogido. The right-hander notched his second win of the campaign and watched his earned run average descend to 2.81 on the campaign in the LIDOM.
Yordanys Linares collected two hits in three trips to the plate, including a seventh inning run-scoring triple and also scored two run on the evening during the Islas Margaritas 8-4 loss to the Águilas de Zulia in the LVBP. The Cuban outfielder saw his average rise to .278 on the season.
Lázaro Alonso had his best evening of the season in the LBPN swatting four hits in five at-bats, while also driving in three runs via homer in the sixth and seventh innings. The Cuban slugger is now hitting a robust .426, but Rivas fell to Bóer 12-11 in the Liga Béisbol Profesional Nicaragüense. Alonso leads the Nicaraguan circuit with five longballs.
