- Melky Cabrera (Aguilas) went 1-for-6 to drop his average to .315.
- Wilkins Arias (Aguilas) pitched two scoreless innings in relief, he did not allow a hit, and he walked two and struck out two.
- Oneli Perez (Licey) pitched 0.2 of an inning, and retired both batters he faced.
Mexican Pacific League

Many people have been asking about Ian Kennedy, and why he hasn't pitched in ten days or so. Well thanks to Peter Abraham we now know why. He is back home after I assume was his innings limit. He threw 34.2 innings in six starts in Puerto Rico, going 2-2 with a 1.56 ERA. He also struck out 31 and walked 12. He was very impressive and hopefully he can carry that over into next season.

Cano isn't doing too hot. These really were the results I was hoping for with this new batting stance. Only one homer and a .264 average. Hopefully next season he does a lot better.
He started off very well, but he hasn't been hitting for a little while now. I'm a little concerned by the recent funk he's in.
