Aragua overcame a 9-3 deficit as the Tigres defeated Zulia 10-9 Friday. A double by ex-Twin Luis Maza (Dodgers) drove in pinch-runner Yonderman Rodriguez (Philadelphia) with the winning run with two out in the bottom of the ninth.
Ex-Twin Alex Romero (Houston) led the Aragua offense with three hits and two RBIs. Hector Gimenez (Pittsburgh) hit two homers and drove in three runs. Wilson Ramos was 1-for-4, hitting his tenth home run. Yangervis Solarte was used as a substitute and singled in his only at-bat. Kenny Perez (Colorado) went 4-for-5 to lead Zulia.
Josh Ellis (Arizona) got the win in relief for Aragua, pitching a scoreless ninth. Chris Hernandez was the losing pitcher.
The win once again moves Aragua into sole possession of sixth place. The Tigres begin a two-game series in Margarita this evening.
