In five perfect innings from the mound, he allowed no hits, faced the minimum (15 batters), struck out four and only conceded one walk.\n\nWith this performance, Mendoza (1-1) also became the <strong>first Aguilucho starter to achieve a victory this season<\/strong>, adding to the narrative of dominance that has characterized the team.\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Offensive that responds at the key moment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nIf the pitching imposed respect, the offense didn&#8217;t fall behind.<br><strong>Leody Taveras<\/strong> was once again decisive by driving in <strong>three of the four runs<\/strong> of the team, while <strong>Julio E. Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong> hit a couple of doubles and scored twice. <strong>Anthony Seigler<\/strong> and <strong>Steward Berroa<\/strong> also contributed to the attack with timely hits that set the pace of the game.\n\nThe Eagles manufactured two runs in the fourth inning, added another in the fifth, and closed the scoring in the seventh, demonstrating their ability to produce at different moments in the game.\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bullpen and defense hold on for the 20 victory<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nAfter Mendoza&#8217;s dominance, the bullpen once again looked dominant. Jonathan Hern\u00e1ndez, Jos\u00e9 Cu\u00e1s, and Jeurys Familia (who earned his fourth save) maintained absolute control, bolstering a defense that was key with two double plays at important moments.\n\nThe only damage from the Escogido came in the eighth inning, but it never put the control of the game by the Cibao team at risk.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s Coming for the Eagles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nWith a clear goal and absolute leadership, the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as return to action this Monday when they visit the Gigantes del Cibao in San Francisco de Macor\u00eds. Right-hander <strong>Jorge Tav\u00e1rez<\/strong> is scheduled to start for Pipe Urueta&#8217;s team.\n\nThe Eagles remain unstoppable, dominating in every line and adding victories that keep them firm at the top. <strong>They reached 20&#8230; and they want more.<\/strong>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANTO DOMINGO.\u2013 Las \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as contin\u00faan firmes en su ruta ganadora y este domingo sumaron un nuevo hito en la temporada 2025-2026: llegaron a las 20 victorias, reafirmando su condici\u00f3n de equipo dominante y s\u00f3lido l\u00edder del campeonato.
