Orlando Martínez swatted his fourth longball of the campaign, a two-run shot and also knocked another two runs on the day to lead Aguascalientes to a 20-7 thrashing of Durango. The Cuban slugger not only hits .388, but also sports a robust 1.133 OPS on the season.
Rusney Castillo belted his first longball of the season in extra-innings to make the difference in Querétaro’s 2-1 win over Puebla. The outfielder now hits a sterling .379 on the season and has been a key bat off the bench for the Conspiradores.
Félix Pérez of the Olmecas connected his 700th hit in Liga Mexicana de Béisbol during Tabasco’s loss. The native of the Isle of Youth has also gone downtown 173 times over his time in the Mexican circuit.
