Winter Leagues: Playoff Action from the Last Two Days

Published:

We have late results from Friday night and Saturday results from the Colombian league playoffs. Francisco Acuna went 2-for-6 with two runs scored and an RBI on Friday night. He followed that up with a 1-for-3 night on Saturday, in which he walked once. Acuna through six playoff games is 6-for-24 with a double and four walks.

Edgar Barrios went 0-for-2 with a walk and run scored on Friday night. On Saturday, he went 0-for-3. He’s still looking for his first base hit, going 0-for-17 in five games.

In the Dominican on Saturday, Socrates Brito went 1-for-4 with a run scored. He is 5-for-17 with a double and three RBIs in the first four playoff games.

Richard Rodriguez pitched the eighth inning of his team’s 4-1 win and retired the side in order, two by strikeouts. He hasn’t allowed a run this winter in the regular season or playoffs.

In Mexico, Randy Romero came on during the fourth inning of the second game of a doubleheader. He was a defensive replacement in center field and remained in the game for the final four innings. He went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. Romero is hitting .161/.188/.194 in 30 games this winter, though he only has 31 at-bats. The postseason hasn’t started yet in Mexico.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
