Cuban Yasiel Puig continues his streak of home runs in the Venezuelan Baseball League

The Cuban gardener Yasiel Puig continues to demonstrate its quality with the Tiburones de la Guaira of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP), a team with which he has already accumulated 11 home runs since he debuted with the ninth on November 27.

In this winter season, the 33-year-old player from the Cuban province of Cienfuegos has in his score a total of 12 full return hits, in which the events with his current team are added plus one in the Dominican Republic, during the short time he was with the Eastern Stars.

Now Puig accumulates .352 of average and 31 runs batted in, according to the statistics of the independent journalist Francys Romero.

Puig had already written his name in the history books, when last December he became one of the Tiburones de La Guaira players who has reached the fastest number of 10 home runs in a season, achieved in 89 at-bats.

With this data he reaches the second step of said number of full return hits in the same season in the LVBP.

In the last match played by the Guaireños this Saturday, January 6, they won 4-1 over Leones del Caracas at the Universitario Stadium, in a match where Puig drove in a run.

The scoring was opened by Miguel Rojas with a solo home run across center field against pitcher Jesús Vargas. Later, a walk came to Maikel García and then he advanced to second after a wild pitch by Vargas, to get hit with a single by Wilson García after two outs, making it 2-0. The bouquet was crowned by Luis Torrens with an unstoppable hit that was followed by another by Yasiel Puig, to push Wilson from second base, according to the website of the Major League Baseball.

This was victory number four in a row for the salty team. Tiburones remains in the number one position as a candidate for the final and so far has a two-game advantage over the three second place occupants in the stage: Tigres de Aragua and Bravos de Margarita, all with a 2-2 record.

At the end of this day, Crazy Horse, as Puig is also known, shared in his stories from Instagram moments in which he was with the Mexican singer Pablo Montero, while they were traveling on the Tiburones de La Guaira bus.
