MANNY RODRIGUEZ WITH A GRAND SLAM

The Charros de Jalisco improved to 8-7 on the season with an 8-5 win over the Mayos de Navojoa on Tuesday night. Manny Rodriguez launched a grand slam in the 2nd inning to give Jalisco a comfortable 5-0 lead. But no lead is safe in the Liga Mexicana del Pacifico.

Navojoa clawed their way back to cut the lead to 5-4 after six innings but Jalisco scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th to add to their lead and get the win. With the loss the Mayos fall to 7-7 on the year.

Amadeo Zazueta hit a solo home run in the 1st for Jalisco, his first of two home runs on the night, to give the Charros the early 1-0 lead. The Rodriguez slam made it 5-0 after two.

Paul Leon doubled to begin the top of the 3rd for Navojoa and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Leon would score on a ground out to begin chipping away at the Jalisco lead.

The Mayos scored twice in the 4th, on a ground ball out that drove in Elmer Reyes and a single off the bat of Leon that plated Luis Fonseca. Another run in the 6th cut the Charros' lead to 5-4.

Jalisco scored 3 times in the 7th, including another solo home run by Zazueta and the Mayos scored a single run in the 8th. That would be all the scoring and the Charros had the 8-5 win.

Vince Molesky (2-0) scattered 7 hits over 5 1/3 innings of work to get the win. Grant Sides earned his 5th save of the campaign. Misael Siverio (0-1) gave up the first 5 runs to the Charros on 6 hits over 5 innings on the mound to take the loss.
