Zapopan, Jalisco.\u2013<\/strong> In a game dominated by pitching from start to finish, Green Mexico<\/strong>, represented by the Tomateros de Culiac\u00e1n<\/strong>, achieved their first victory<\/strong> in the 68th Caribbean Series Jalisco 2026<\/strong> by defeating the Federales de Chiriqu\u00ed<\/strong>, 2 runs to 1<\/strong>, in the match that opened the third day of the tournament at the Pan American Stadium<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Federales, meanwhile, the setback meant their second consecutive defeat<\/strong>, after falling the night before against the Charros de Jalisco.\n\nThe game was defined early, in the third inning<\/strong>, when Rodolfo Amador hit a single to center field that drove in Luis Verdugo<\/strong> and Carlos Sep\u00falveda<\/strong>, runs that made the difference on the scoreboard.\n\nFeds reacted in the seventh episode<\/strong>, when an unstoppable hit by Luis Castillo<\/strong> opened the offensive threat. After a sacrifice bunt by Jean Arn\u00e1ez<\/strong> and a strategic relief, Abraham Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>, as a pinch hitter, hit a single to center field to produce Panama’s only run and bring his team closer 2-1.\n\n\n

Despite the opportunities created by both teams in the final innings, the pitching prevailed and the score did not move again. Lupe Ch\u00e1vez<\/strong> was in charge of closing the game and was credited with the save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\nDespaigne (1-0) worked six innings<\/strong>, allowed one earned run<\/strong>, five hits and struck out four. The Mexican bullpen combined with Sasagi S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, Rafael C\u00f3rdova<\/strong> and Ch\u00e1vez to preserve the victory. For Federales, Jorge Garc\u00eda<\/strong> (0-1) pitched 4.1 innings<\/strong>, giving up two earned runs and four hits, with four strikeouts.\n\n\n

On the offensive for Tomateros, Rodolfo Amador<\/strong> stood out, going 4-3<\/strong>, with a double and two RBIs<\/strong>. For the Panamanians, Luis Castillo<\/strong> batted 4-2<\/strong> and scored his team’s only run.<\/p>\n\n\nFollowing the result, Leones del Escogido<\/strong> leads the standings with a record of 2-0<\/strong>, followed by Charros de Jalisco<\/strong>, Cangrejeros de Santurce<\/strong> and Tomateros de Culiac\u00e1n<\/strong> (1-1), while Federales de Chiriqu\u00ed<\/strong> remains in last place with 0-2<\/strong>.\n\nThe day will continue with the match between Mexico Rojo<\/strong>, represented by the Charros de Jalisco, and the Cangrejeros de Santurce<\/strong> from Puerto Rico.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
