The loss fell on Jacob Barnes (0-2, 5.14), charged with three runs, while Joe Corbett closed the door to record his third save of the campaign.\n\nDuring this streak of four victories, the bullfighting pitching staff has been decisive, recording a collective effectiveness of 2.50, with a bullpen that has shone with an impeccable 1.40 ERA.\n\n\n

THE RACES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe Lions took a 3-0 lead in the second inning, with a single by Jonathan Guzm\u00e1n that allowed S\u00f3crates Brito and Eguy Rosario to score due to an error by Jeimer Candelario, as well as a run-scoring hit by Chadwick Tromp.\n\nThe Bulls reacted immediately in the bottom of the same inning with two runs, the result of a deep triple by Candelario to right field that drove in Eloy Jim\u00e9nez. Candelario himself then scored on an error by third baseman Eguy Rosario, after a hit by Tres Barrera, closing the score to 3-2.\n\nIn the third act, a double play grounder by Yairo Mu\u00f1oz with the bases loaded allowed the Romanenses to tie the score 3-3.\n\nThe decisive rally came in the fifth inning, when the “Toro-L\u00edo” was unleashed. With the bases loaded, Candelario hit a two-run single that put the game 5-3. Eloy Jim\u00e9nez advanced to third and then scored on a surprise bunt by Tres Barrera. Rookie Welbyn Francisca completed the rally with a single to right field that drove in Candelario to extend the lead to 7-3.\n\nThe last red threat occurred in the eighth inning, when H\u00e9ctor Rodr\u00edguez hit a solo home run to right field to close the score to 7-4, but the bull pen remained unwavering until the end.\n\n\n
