The Gigantes del Cibao have made official their pitching strategy for the next three matchups of the 2026-2027 season of the Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM). The team from San Francisco de Macorís, which is looking to climb the standings, will rely on Jackson Goddard, Antonio Santos, and Jake Eder as their primary starters for the games from this Wednesday through Friday.
