Cuba wanders in the middle of an offensive drought> Sports> Granma

Cuba's terrible offensive action in the Bilateral's first match against the United States does not seem to be an isolated chapter in the trajectory of Carlos Martí's cast. At least we were able to check it out in the second challenge of the Antillean team, who lost by grout (3-0), again with the pyrrhic rollout on the plate.

The Caribbean team did not find any formulas to decipher shipments of Zack Hess, Jake Agnos and Max Meyer, the three pitchers who devoured the nine episodes of the visiting team. They did not face any major complications during the match, which they mostly controlled with their quick throws up to 95 miles.

Hess, a six-foot-six-inch (the largest of the Northers), was the starter and walked four effective episodes, with which he extended to nine his string of zeros with the national jersey since that year. they started their summer campaign against Taipei from China and Japan.

The giant was followed by left-handed Agnos, one of Meyer's best scorers was in charge of the fence, another with a notable ability to liquidate rivals through strikes.

After the bad expense in the opening duel, Carlos Martí almost did not move his plays, as he only gave the entry to Juan Carlos Torriente by Carlos Benítez in the middle, and Yulexis La Rosa in the receiver, a position that had already defended Yosvani Alarcón, although the player remained in the lineup as designated. He was sacrificed in this change Guillermo Avilés, whose place in the initial was occupied by Yordanis Samón

This time the Cuban pitching did not waver so much, except the starter Royd Hernández, who has exploded in the second inning after allowing all three races in the United States. However, the relievers Yariel Rodríguez, Yudiel Rodríguez and Frank Luis Medina were in charge of completing the match without anyone else walking on the elastic band.

This Thursday (19:15) will continue the actions in the Latin American Park, while the dates of Friday and Saturday matches will be in the morning (10:00). For Cuba, it is important to break out of the offensive lethargy and wash its best image, as only one week of the Central American and Caribbean Games in Barranquilla, Colombia, have only raised doubts and alarms.
