The Gigantes, for their part, have not yet achieved a victory in this stage, with a worrying 0-9 and are approaching elimination.\n\nThe scarlet team built their triumph with three runs in the third inning, complemented by a two-run home run by Pedro Severino.\n\nTravis Lakins Sr. (2-0) was the winning pitcher, with an outstanding performance of 5.2 innings, allowing only two hits.
