Yurisbel Gracial swatted his fifth homerun of the season, a solo-shot during the Conspiradores de Querétaro 5-4 victory over the Tigres de Quintana Roo. The Cuban slugger in total drove in two runs on the evening, saw his average rise to .315 and now leads all Cubans in the Liga Mexicana de Béisbol in longballs this season.
Jimmy Yacabonis tossed a scoreless inning in which he fanned all three batters during the Diablos Rojos 6-5 loss to the Olmecas de Tabasco. The Cuban-American hurler saw his earned run average descend to 3.65 on the season and has struck out 15 batters in 12⅓ innings pitched.
Albert Lara collected two hits in six trips to the plate, while also knocking in three runs via a homerun and a single in Unión Laguna’s 5-4 loss to Dos Laredos. The infielder extended his hitting streak to 15 and has driven in 13 runs on the season.
