With the triumph, the Eagles completed a perfect sweep against the Giants, winning the six matches played between both teams in the semifinal series.\n\nThe Mexican right-hander threw six solid innings<\/strong>, allowing only one run and two hits<\/strong>, without conceding walks and striking out seven of the 20 batters<\/strong> he faced. The victory went to Miranda (1-0), while the loss fell on Cristopher Molina<\/strong> (0-1). Matt Foster<\/strong> earned the save (1) in his debut.\n\nThe yellow relief responded accordingly, with Junior Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> in the seventh episode, Richard Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong> in the eighth, and Foster closing the ninth inning.\n\n\n For the Giants, Cristopher Molina could only work 1.2 innings<\/strong>, in which he allowed four runs and four hits<\/strong>, with one walk and one strikeout. The vinotinto bullpen used Blake Weiman, Frank Garc\u00e9s, Wellington D\u00edaz, Adisyn Coffey<\/strong> and Tayron Guerrero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\nOn the offensive for the Eagles, Cristhian Adames<\/strong> and Rodolfo Amador<\/strong> connected with a double and a single; Juan Carlos Gamboa<\/strong> and Geraldo Perdomo<\/strong> added two hits each, while Steward Berroa<\/strong> and Jerar Encarnaci\u00f3n<\/strong> contributed a hit apiece.\n\nFor the Giants, Deyvinson De los Santos<\/strong> led the attack with a home run and a double<\/strong>; Diego Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> hit a home run and a single<\/strong>; Kelvin Guti\u00e9rrez<\/strong> added a home run, and David Ba\u00f1uelos<\/strong> connected with a hit.\n\nThe Eagles took control of the game in the second inning, when they combined a double by Amador, singles by Gamboa, Berroa and Perdomo, a walk to Leody Taveras<\/strong> and defensive errors by Jos\u00e9 Sir\u00ed<\/strong> and Gustavo N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/strong>, sending nine batters to the plate.\n\nIn the third episode, Diego Hernandez hit a solo home run to bring the Giants closer 4-1, also breaking a streak of seven consecutive outs.\n\nThe yellow advantage widened in the fifth inning when, after two outs, Adames hit a double and scored on a run-scoring single by Rodolfo Amador, putting the score at 5-1.\n\nThe Giants reacted in the seventh with a double by De los Santos and a home run by Kelvin Guti\u00e9rrez, and tightened the game in the ninth inning when De los Santos punished again with a home run, leaving them only one run behind, although the Eagles’ relief pitching managed to preserve the victory.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SANTIAGO.\u2013 Mexican Juan Carlos Miranda shone with a quality start and the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as defeated the Gigantes del Cibao 5-4, in a game of the Round Robin held on Thursday night at the Estadio Cibao, remaining firm in the fight to advance to the final.
