The bullpen also played a crucial role, with Jonathan Hernández, José Cuás, and Jeurys Familia (who achieved his fourth save) maintaining control of the game. The team’s defense was solid, highlighting two double plays at critical moments.
The only damage to the Escogido came in the eighth inning, but it did not manage to jeopardize the Eagles’ victory.Next Challenge
The Águilas Cibaeñas are preparing for their next game, visiting the Gigantes del Cibao in San Francisco de Macorís. Jorge Tavárez will be the starting pitcher for the team.
