Erick Leal shines on the mound and the Lions close the week with a positive record

At the Monumental Stadium, Leones del Caracas defeated Tigres de Aragua 8-2 to end the week with a winning record (4-2). Erick Leal dominated the cats to record the melenudos’ first outstanding performance.

For the second time this week, the New York Yankees pitcher took the mound, but this time he was able to complete five innings, giving up just three hits, two earned runs, and five strikeouts.”The Power of Arcia” was evident throughout the game as the manager José Alguacil’s now-leadoff hitter led three teammates to the plate and was only a triple away from scoring a run.

For his part, Gabriel Lino led the capital team to victory with his first two runs of the competition, including a double between second base and centre field.

The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth innings were where Leones del Caracas scored their runs.That overwhelming performance had been long anticipated, and the big story at El Monumental was Erick Leal’s first game victory. However, the bullpen also excelled in the closing innings, so it wasn’t only the right-hander who took home the trophy.

Together, Joshua Cornielly, Jhon Jairo Romero, Norwith Gudiño, and Jorgen Rondón got the game’s last outs. In actuality, they struck out four hitters, gave up two walks, and only allowed three hits.With this outcome, the Caracas Lions currently have an 11–13 record, six games behind the fifth-place La Guaira Sharks, who are already three and a half games behind the Margarita Braves despite having fewer games than the islands.

This Tuesday marks the beginning of the seventh week for the Caracas Lions, who have only won once at the José Bernardo Pérez Stadium in Valencia. The series against their long-time opponent is (1-2) against the Turks.

Oswaldo Arcia was the most impressive player among the melenudos, and the locals connected 13 hits on offence, including four extra-base hits.
