DSL PIRATES GOLD
Start mug: Yojeiry Osoria 2.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 SO

Dioris Valdez 2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI
Rodolfo De La Cruz 0-for-3, BB
Dolphin Ramirez 1-for-4, 2 RBI
Game summary: Yojeiry Osoria was one of the Pirates’ top signings during the 2019-20 international signing period and it didn’t live up to the early hype. After allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits, two walks and two strikeouts on Friday, he now has an ERA of 6.12 in 25 innings over ten starts. Wilkin Valdez finished the third inning, then gave up three runs in the fourth inning before being replaced by Luis Faringthon, who stranded two inherited runners.

The Pirates got homers from Esmerlyn Valdez, his fifth of the season, and the first of the season from Dioris Valdez and Miguel Sosa. Dioris Valdez had some of the best raw powers in the entire system, so it’s a bit of a surprise that it took so long for his first homer. Sosa drove in three runs. Esmerlyn Valdez scored three runs. Jeral Toledo scored his ninth double and drove in two runs. Juan Machado collected his second double and his first career triple. Gustavo Armas had two hits and two runs. Delfin Ramirez drove in two runs.
