Winner

Pitcher Erly Casanova (1-0) scored the victory on Monday night, after working for 5.0 innings, giving up just two hits and one clean line, walking three and striking out three. He is the first La Guaira starter who manages to extend his work until the fifth section in this campaign.

The defeat was suffered by Rafael Marcano (0-1) after tolerating three hits, two races free of dirt and fanning two rivals in 1.1 sections.

The rescue was credited to the famous Pedro “El Amolador” Rodríguez (1), a former member of La Tribu Oriental.
