The only games today are in the Dominican Summer League. The full-season teams are off until Friday and the FCL Pirates start back up on Thursday. The All-Star festivities and the draft will get all of the attention today, but we will add the pitchers/boxscores below as soon as they are available, then post the recap once the games have been completed.

Game Recap:
The Pirates won 9-8 on Monday, despite a converted pitcher giving up five runs in his brief outing. Starter Adolfo Oviedo allowed one run over three innings before giving way to former outfielder Dioris Valdez, who has off the charts raw power, but poor contact skills. He allowed five earned runs in 1.1 innings. Luis Gonzalez followed with one run in 2.2 innings and Wilbur Martinez allowed an unearned run in his two innings. The Pirates scored first on a double play ball with no RBI. They added six runs in the fifth on a double steal, wild pitch, RBI single from Miguel Sosa, RBI double from Ewry Espinal, and an error. Espinal tripled in a run in the ninth, then Isaac Paulino capped the scoring by driving in Espinal with a single. The Mets had the winning run on base with one out in the ninth, but couldn’t tie/win. Espinal added a stolen base and scored three runs in the game. The steal of home was a double steal and the sixth of the season for Daje Morales.
