Audy Ciriaco (3B, Caimanes de Barranquilla): 1-5, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 CS, 1 E – While not as impressive as his Monday effort (3-4, 1 R, 2 2B, 4 RBI), Ciriaco still drove in a run.

Sandy Leon (C, Caimanes de Barranquilla): 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K – Leon’s only hit was of the extra-base variety for the second straight game, even if it wasn’t a three-run homer like he hit in the sixth on Monday night.

DOMINICAN WINTER LEAGUE (LIDOM) PLAYOFFS – SERIE FINAL GAME 2 (BEST-OF-7)

GIGANTES DEL CIBAO 6, AGUILAS CIBAENAS 2 (GIGANTES LEAD SERIES 2-0)

FORMER INDIANS

Paolo Espino (SP, Gigantes del Cibao): W (1-0 in Serie Final and Playoffs, 3-3 overall), 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R (both earned), 5 K – Espino excelled in his first start for a LIDOM team other than the Toros del Este (in his career, not just this season) to lead the Gigantes to the halfway point of their journey toward a Dominican title and a trip to Mazatlan for the Serie del Caribe.

Melky Cabrera (LF, Aguilas Cibaenas): 0-3, 1 Sac Bunt – Cabrera’s sacrifice bunt in the first inning advanced CF Juan Lagares to third base. Lagares would score the Aguilas’ second, and final, run of the evening on the next at-bat thanks to a ground ball single to left field by 1B Rangel Ravelo.

Robel Garcia (2B, Aguilas Cibaenas): 1-4, 2 K – Garcia ended his three-game mini-slump with a two-out line-drive single to right in the seventh.
