What is missing to conquer “El Guerrero”? Tuesday night was just another day at the office for Yunesky maya. We will be commenting today on the victory of the Giants who are determined to grow up to the Stars, and the exciting encounter between the two most ferocious cats in the jungle.

The Eagles made a nest in La Romana

Yunesky Maya from Pinar del Río (2.16 ERA) is priceless. “The Warrior” continues to compete against himself and time.

The most recent duel between the Águilas Cibaeñas and the Toros del Este had him as the protagonist. In six full innings Maya only allowed one touchdown, in the same first inning, and that was more the result of aggressiveness in the bullfighting base than a slip by the pitcher.

The home team’s shootout featured players of the caliber of Miguel Andujar (4-0, 3K), Josh Reddick (2-0) and Yasiel Puig (2-0 and 2 BB), however Yuneski was in mode all the time. “Unattainable” for rivals. Three hits and two walks (both to fellow countryman Yasiel Puig) was all that allowed the right back down.

Francisco Peña (4-2) was in charge of deciding the game in the ninth with a line cannon shot over the head of the Toros midfielder Malquin Canelo and before the pitching of Fernando Abad, who carried the defeat. Luis Valenzuela (4-3, 1R) and Daniel Santana (4-1, 1R) also contributed offensively to the victory that brings the Aguileños (17-14) closer to one game at the top of the standings.

The Giants touch the stars and cut distance

In a game decided in the first half, the Giants are confirmed in third place in the standings (16-15) while they cut the distance that separated them from the Eastern Stars (18-13).

Marcell Ozuna (3-1, 1HR, 2RBI) took the offense on his own and with the fourth homer of the season brought two to the plate in the third to leave the table served. Richard Ureña (4-1, 3B, RBI) nailed the punch at the end of the first third and drove Moisés Sierra (3-2, 2R, 2B) to home with the fifth of the colts, ultimately final.

The two starters (Henry Sosa and Gabriel Ynoa) did not do justice to each other and allowed four clean scores each so that then the two bullpenes were in charge of turning off the lights and not allowing any offensive freedom.

Cuban and Los Angeles Dodgers player Darien Núñez lowered his Whip to 0.86 when he faced three opponents and put a price on their heads with ease. His fellow pachyderms Sam Hilliard and Junior Lake had two hits and a home run per capita each, so the game went by one touchdown for five innings without moving the scoreboard.

Henry Urrutia (4-0) lowered his offensive average to .303 in 33 official at-bats and in the last four games in which he has participated he has gone from 9-1 with a .111 offensive average.

The Lion roared louder in the Juan Marichal

Twelve tickets were necessary to have a winner at the Quiqueya Stadium. The cats insisted on holding each other and only a rally of three scores at the top of the 12th inning allowed the match to be defined.

Jimmy Paredes’ hit as a pinch hitter brought the tiebreaker and then the rest of the inning was just about comfort for the Escogido pitching. For the winners Aaron Hicks (6-3), Luis Liberato (4-2) and Erick González (4-2) were the most prominent on offense.

Even though the winning pitcher was Victor Santos (4-0, 2.19), Daryl Thompson threw five scoreless innings as he struck out four and lowered the ERA to 1.69 and the Whip to 0.84.

The Tigres, who came losing in the ninth inning, managed to tie the game against Fernando Rodney thanks to a masterful touch of the ball from Emilio Bonifacio for the second pad. Mack Lemieux was the defeated pitcher but the true weight of the disaster falls on the anemic offense of five hits in the 12 innings of play.

When there are nine days left, the table is on fire. In the Dominican Republic there is nothing, but nothing, decided yet.
