GUARDIANS PROSPECTS

Johnathan Rodriguez (Carolina – Game 1, LF): 1-2, 1 K, 1 CS – J-Rod reached base once in the opener, but didn’t fare well once he reached the basepaths.

Johnathan Rodriguez (Carolina – Game 2, LF): 1-3, 1 K – The nightcap went similarly, but without the caught stealing.

Gabriel Arias (Santurce – Game 1, 3B): 2-3 – While he wasn’t involved in the game’s lone run, Arias accounted for half of the Santurce hits in Game 1.

Gabriel Arias (Santurce – Game 2, 3B): 0-3, 1 K – Game 2, however, did not go as well for Gabriel, whose hitting streak ended at four games.

Alexfri Planez (Caracas, CF): 1-5, 2 RBI, 2 K – Planez doubled his season RBI total on a two-run single in the second to kick off the Leones’ Sunday scoring.

George Valera (Estrellas, RF): 1-5, 1 R, 1 K – Valera scored the game’s first run after singling to lead off the Estrellas’ day at the plate and extend his on-base streak to five games.

Dahan Batista (Barranquilla, RP): W, 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R (earned), 1 BB – Batista’s solid fifth and sixth frames earned him the individual victory via score’s decision.
