Roel Santos collected two hits in four trips to the plate, knocked in a run and also scored a run to do his part in Los Mochis’ 6-4 victory over the Sultanes de Monterrey. The speedy outfielder from Granma, Cuba saw his average rise to .276 on the campaign.
Darién Núñez tossed a scoreless ninth in which he fanned a batter to secure Anzoátegui’s 5-3 win over La Guaira. The flamethrowing lefty notched his first savw on the season and saw his ERA descend to 3.07. Núñez has been a key edition to the Caribes’ bullpen this season.
Alay Lago and Maikel Serrano combined for three hits, two RBIs and four runs scored to do their part in El Tren del Norte’s 13-2 win over Bóer in the LBPN. The two Cuban sluggers are hitting .333 and .429 on the season respectively.
In the LCBP Yassel Pino swatted two hits in five at-bats and knocked in two runs during Sincelejo’s 15-13 victory in a shootout between the two teams. The ex-Reds prospect has been a big bat in the Toros lineup and hits a solid .293 on the season.
