Henry Urrutia swatted a hit in four at-bats and even scored on an occasion, to do his part in the Gigantes de Rivas 4-1 victory over the Indios de Bóer in the Asociación de Béisbol Profesional Nicaragüense. Urrutia now hits a solid .261 in his short time with the Nicaraguan squad.
Yoan López tossed a scoreless inning in relief during which he fanned two of the three batters he faced to secure an Águilas Cibaeñas 6-4 win over the Toros del Este to earn his first save of the winter. The flamethrowing Cuban right-hander has yet to allow a run in his short time in the LIDOM.
In the Liga ARCO Yasmany Tomás collected three hits in five trips to the plate including a fifth inning run-scoring single, but Los Mochis fell to Mazatlán 6-3. The “Cuban Tank” as he is now by the fans saw his average rise to .235 on the campaign.
