The Caribbean Series kicked off yesterday and there are a few interesting stat lines to point out. If you didn't know, Puerto Rico was unable to send a representative to the series this year, so two DR teams have made the cut into the series. Yesterday was a good day for the DR as both of their teams won their opening games (vs Venezuela and Mexico). Here are some batting lines that I picked up from the box scores:
Miguel Tejada: 3-4, 4 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 2 HR, 1 SB
Victor Diaz: 2-5, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 2B
Anderson Hernandez: 1-5, 1 RBI
Jose Offerman: 2-3, 2 R, 1 SB
Interesting, so fare Hernandez does not look like the Ted Williams of the Winter Leagues. Maybe later on this week.
The scores of the games were:
DR (2) -13
Mex – 6
DR (1) -6
Ven – 4
