Mexicali Falls One Out Short of No-Hitter in 3–1 Win as Sánchez Ties Águilas Saves Record

The result extends a pitching-first road swing in Guasave that lifted Mexicali over .500 earlier in the series.

Overview

  • Águilas de Mexicali carried a no-hit bid into the ninth before Kristian Delgado doubled and Carlos Arellano tripled for Guasave’s lone run in a 3-1 finish.
  • Víctor Juárez earned the win and Julio Robaina took the loss, with Jake Sánchez closing for his third save of the season and 124th of his winter career.
  • Sánchez’s 124th rescue matches Isidro Márquez for the franchise’s all-time lead in saves.
  • Mexicali’s offense opened with a Yadiel Hernández sacrifice fly and an Estevan Florial RBI single, then stretched the lead on a Yadir Drake solo homer to center.
  • Two days earlier in the same ballpark, Mexicali blanked Guasave 4-0 to reach 5-4, while league standings at that point had Naranjeros on top and the Águilas in the upper middle.
