Panamanian Alberto Guerrero allowed one run, struck out seven in five innings and Águilas del Zulia broke a four-game losing streak by winning 5-1 over Navegantes del Magallanes on Tuesday night in Valencia at the start of the third week of the Venezuelan Baseball League Professional (LVBP).
Rafael Petit, press officer for the Raptors, reported that Zulia capitalized on an error by left fielder Edgardo Fermín in the second inning. Rolling by Eduardo Torrealba, double by Simón Muzziotti and single by Delino Deshields, scored the first three lines of the match of the 2024-2025 season.
“We went in focused on competing, we made a work plan with José Herrera, he is a tremendous catcher, he told me to be guided by him and that’s what I did, plus all the pitches worked today, especially my changeup and sinker,” said Guerrero, who told him He credited the offense for backing four runs in the first innings.
“Thank God, the boys gave me those four races and that helps me stay focused and get the victory,” added the man from Canal.
Importance of success
With the victory, the birds of prey achieved their first success of the campaign against Magallanes, after having lost in Maracaibo last week twice. “There was no special plan for what happened there,” said Guerrero, whose team made four lines in the first third of the top.
Alí Castillo with a solo home run made the score 5×1, while the team’s relievers once again delivered. Gustavo Rodríguez, Gregory Infante, Domingo Jiménez and Silvino Bracho did not receive hits or runs in four innings, and they also struck out six opponents without walking.
New clashes for the clubs
The rapacious tour continues this Wednesday visiting the Tigres de Aragua at the José Pérez Colmenares stadium. The Eagles leave a record of three wins and five losses (3-5) and are sixth in the table, three games behind first place, which the Bengalis have (6-2). Magallanes (6-3), second, will also leave his house because he will visit Leones del Caracas this Wednesday in the capital of the Republic.
