And after having hit three hits, including a Grand Slam, in the wild card game against Leones del Caracas, the Tigres de Aragua center fielder has shown little or nothing in this semifinal.
However, he seems to be getting back into the swing of things, and in the closing game of the miniseries against the Braves in Porlamar, he went 5-for-4 with two runs scored. He raised his average to .283 in 12 games throughout the postseason (including that wild-card game), with 15 hits - including two home runs -, eight runs, six RBIs and 21 bases on base.
He has yet to hit a double or triple in this semi-final, something that was a constant in Lorenzo Cedrola's game in the regular season. And, that was part of the spectacular improvement he had in the offensive aspect and that of course was essential for the Bengals to end up qualifying for the postseason.
However, "La Hormiga" is batting .250, with an OPS of just .563 in 48 plate appearances in the Round-Robin. For their part, the Tigers are obliged to win the five games left to even be able to aspire to an extra game.
