Julio Pablo Martínez went yard for the 11th time on the season in five trips to the plate, a solo-shot in the first inning of Culiacán’s 13-9 loss to the Charros de Jalisco in the Liga ARCO Mexicana del Pacífico. The Cuban outfielder has now also driven in 30 runs on the campaign.
In the LIDOM Jimmy Yacabonis tossed a scoreless inning in relief during which he only allowed a hit, while also fanning a batter during the Toros del Este’s 2-1 loss to the Gigantes del Cibao. The right-hander saw his earned run average descend to 5.19 on the winter league season.
In APBN Yoel Yanqui drove in a run via a sacrifice fly to do his part in the Indios de Bóer’s 10-9 defeat at the hands of the defending league champions Leones de León. The infielder saw his average fall to .222 but upped his RBI total to seven on the year.
