GUARDIANS PLAYERS

Johnathan Rodriguez (Carolina, starting DH): 1-2, 1 R, 1 K – J-Rod scored the first Gigante run of the night in the top of the fourth.

Eric Rodriguez (Carolina, backup C): 0-0, 1 BB – Tuesday’s blowout loss provided E-Rod a rare opportunity for playing time.

Richie Palacios (Mayaguez, starting 2B): 1-4, 1 R, 1 K – Quieter evening for Palacios after a crazy nightcap of Sunday’s doubleheader.

Oscar Gonzalez (Estrellas, starting LF): 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 E – Gonzalez had a big night at the plate to help the Estrellas to their first playoff victory of the 2022-23 round Robin (all four teams currently tied at 1-1).

Enyel De Los Santos (Licey, RP): BS, 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R (earned), 1 BB, 1 K – Not a terrible seventh for De Los Santos, but enough for a blown save as the Tigres lose for the first time this postseason.

Meibrys Viloria (Cartagena, C): 1-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K – Viloria is posting a stratospheric 1.035 OPS in the LPB after driving in the Tigres’ seventh run of the game to re-tie the contest on a double in the bottom of the eleventh and scoring the game-winning run on the next at-bat. 

Dayan Frias (Monteria, SS): 0-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K – Frias walked to lead off the second inning and later scored in his 2022-23 LPB debut.
