We have to be honest, playing in Margarita the Braves are practically invincible. Whoever it is. This time it was up to Juan Santana guide the triumph of the islanders.
The Dominican, who went 3-for-4 with a pair of hits, a home run, a run scored and two RBIs, began fighting for the batting lead once the day ended this Saturday.
Juan Santana left his offensive line for the season at .415/.444/.585. “We are focused, doing the job,” the Dominican slugger managed to say, who is the third hitter with an average above .400, after 32 games played in the season.
“We continue working, 100 percent, putting our hand in,” were his words. “Every day I do a routine, it took extra batting practice.”
The Dominican, who 10 games ago was hitting .349, has had an extraordinary performance in the last 10 games.
He has hit in nine of them, with five doubles, a triple and a home run during that period in question.
“What we want is to continue like this, how we are playing and for the fans to come to continue supporting us,” he said.
