The goal of the long-haired designated hitter was to give his pitchers a margin of confidence: “I came out aggressive from the first at-bat so that the pitcher would be calm.”
Lions level out
It was the second consecutive victory for Caracas, which equaled its balance at 3-3. Chicago White Sox big leaguer Lenyn Sosa remains unstoppable and hit his first homer of the season. He went 2 for 3 with a couple of RBIs.

“Discipline and keeping the routine is the key,” the shortstop told One Baseball Network. “(Danny) Ortiz is a player who is almost always on the bases and that is good for the team because it gives us the opportunity to drive. Every day we come with the mentality of working hard and now we must maintain consistency, but the pitching has “I’ve done a great job in the last two days and that has made a difference,” he added.
For the Lions, it was key to dominate José “Cafecito” Martínez, the hottest player in the Aragüeña offense, who was unable to hit in three at-bats and only got on base with one walk.
Insufficient reaction
Manager Buddy Bailey remains true to his style and used six pitchers in the clash in the capital. Aragua saw his bullpen do the job and was close to making the game difficult for Leones, but the timely hit was missing. They had among their most notable players Lorenzo Cedrola and Jesús Sucre, with a couple of hits each.
