12/27 LIDOM RECAP: Jeremy Pena continues to excel in LIDOM action
LIDOM RECAP 12/21: A pair of Pirates prospects steer Gigantes ship to victory
Four teams were in action last night in LIDOM as a pair of Pittsburgh Pirates and Texas Rangers players had a good night.
Toros del Este (2) vs Gigantes del Cibao (6)- 9 inn
Toros del Este
Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario, who started at first base, went 1-for-4 and drove in the Toros’ other run.
Former Braves farmhand Peter O’Brien went yard in the 9th for his fourth home run in winter league action
Without Gary Sanchez or Yasiel Puig last night, the top of the order struggled, going just 2-for-14. Outside of O’Brien, Tampa Rays infielder Vidal Brujan was the other Toro with a hit, with a double in the first.
Gigantes del Cibao
Former Reds minor leaguer Jose Siri was one of five Gigantes with two hits
Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman apparently fired up by the Nate Lowe trade, went 2-for-3. On the season, he has been one of the better hitters in the LIDOM, with a slash line of .347/.437/.495 with an OPS of .932.
For Pittsburgh Pirates prospect fans, they were treated to Oneil Cruz going 2-for-4 and Yerry De Los Santos continuing to pitch strong for the Gigantes. So far in five innings of work, he has allowed just one hit and struck out six. De Los Santos throws two pitches, a fastball, and a slider, and is expected to start the season in High-A in 2021.
Tigres del Licey (1) vs Estrellas Orientales (4) -9 inn
Tigres del Licey
Rangers infielder Anderson Tejeda led the Tigres attack, going 3-for-4.
Chicago White Sox DH/C Yermin Mercedes drove in the only run with a single in the first. He went 1-for-4 on the day.
Astros lefty Kent Emanuel tossed a pair of scoreless innings. So far, Emanuel has pitched 12.1 IP, 16 strikeouts, and has not allowed a run now since December 10th. He has allowed just two runs so far on the season.
Estrellas Orientales
Miami Marlins first baseman Lewin Diaz homered for the second day in a row.
Yankees third baseman Domingo Leyba went 1-for-4.
Sócrates Brito did most of the damage for los Estrellas, hitting a triple in the 3rd that drove in three.
