Javier Solano took the mound for the opening game of the Aguilas season in front of 17,000 fans at Estadio B-Air in Mexicali and put on quite a pitching exhibition.
Solano got the Naranjero's lead off batter to fly out to center and then struck out the next 8 batters to set the LMP record for consecutive strike outs. He would go on to strike out 12 of the first 18 batters he faced He gave up 2 hits, a double to Eric Young Jr. in the 4th and a single to Roberto Ramos in the 5th. Three Mayo relievers continued to overpower the Naranjeros, striking out 2 and holding Hermosillo scoreless over the final 3 innings. Jake Sanchez earned his first save of the year.
Mexicali scored a run on back-to-back doubles by Ricardo Serrano and Juan Perez in the 3rd inning to take a 1-0 lead.
Xorge Carrillo hit a lead off solo home run for the Aguilas in the 5th to increase to lead to 2-0. One out later, Juan Perez singled to left, went to third on a Daniel Castro single to right center and scored on a sac fly by Chuck Taylor for the 3-0 lead and eventually the game.
