The gardener Jose Adolis Garcia and the closer Aroldis chapman will represent Cuba tonight in the 91st edition of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, which will take place at Coors Field, Denver.
Chapman will be participating in his seventh midseason classic, while Adolis will debut in this class of contests.
This year the left-hander from Holguin had a brilliant start to the campaign of just one run allowed in his first 20 innings of work, but as of June his performance fell apart and right now he exhibits a high average of 4.55, with a WHIP of 1.48.
In his defense, yes, you have to target 16 saves and five victories for the cause of the Yankees, with a strikeout rate of 15.8 every nine innings (52 in 29.2).
For his part, the Avilanian took full advantage of his opportunity in the Texas line up and exhibits an offensive line of .270 / .312 / .527, with 22 homers (fifth best total in the American League) and 62 RBIs (sixth).
We need your help:
Like you, thousands of Cubans they read and support the independent journalism of CiberCuba. Our editorial independence begins with our economic independence: no organization in any country finances CiberCuba. We make our own agenda, we publish our opinions and we give voice to all Cubans, without external influences.
Our newspaper has been financed until today only through advertising and own funds, but that limits what we can do. This is why we ask for your help. Your financial contribution will allow us to carry out more investigative journalism actions and increase the number of collaborators who report from the island, while preserving our editorial independence. Any contribution, big or small, will be very valuable for our future. From only $ 5 and with just one minute of your time you can collaborate with CiberCuba. Thanks.
