Charros Clinch LMB North in 10th-Inning Win as Diablos Move Within One at Home

Charros de Jalisco beat Sultanes de Monterrey 6-4 in 10 innings at Walmart Park, with Josh Fuentes delivering a two-out, two-run double for the decisive blow. Sasagi Sánchez earned the win in relief and Trevor Clifton recorded the save, while Monterrey squandered bases-loaded chances in the second and ninth. Willie Calhoun powered Jalisco’s surge with a torrid two-game stretch of 7-for-9, three home runs and five RBIs, plus a game-tying homer in the clincher. Diablos Rojos took Game 5 in Campeche 5-4 as Ricardo Pinto retired the first 15 batters and struck out 11, and Tomohiro Anraku notched a four-out save for a second straight night. Game 6 is scheduled for today at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú, where Mexico City lists Brooks Hall to start; a win sends Diablos to the Serie del Rey, while a loss forces Game 7, and Charros will open the final on Sept. 10 as visitors.
