CD. OBREGÓN, SONORA. In a contest where the home offense seized control in the first inning with an early surge, the Tomateros de Culiacán fell 10-2 to the Yaquis, dropping the road series two games to one.

Although Tomateros attempted to spark a rally with a run manufactured in the third inning and another in the ninth frame courtesy of an RBI single by Ichiro Cano, the home side's pitching held firm in high-leverage moments to lock down the victory.

Reliever Édgar Arredondo provided a bright spot on the mound, tossing 2.1 scoreless innings while allowing just one hit and striking out two.

With no time to waste, Lorenzo Bundy's squad will turn the page immediately and head back home to prepare for a crucial weekend series against the Charros de Jalisco at Estadio Tomateros. The starting rotation for the upcoming matchup will feature Víctor Castañeda, Norge Ruiz, and Manny Barreda.
