Unión Laguna opened the weekend series with a 5-4 victory in 11 innings, highlighted by Didi Gregorius’s go-ahead hit and Yoan López’s relief win. The extra-innings thriller featured key rallies, including Adrián Tovalín’s ninth-inning sacrifice fly and a two-run lead for Laguna in the tenth before Monterrey evened the score again. Monterrey rebounded on Sunday as Gustavo Núñez drove in four runs and Nolan Kingham delivered a quality start in an 11-6 win that sealed its playoff berth. The victory improved the Sultanes to 51-32, making them uncatchable atop the Zona Norte with nine regular-season games remaining. Under José Offerman, Unión Laguna has secured consecutive road series to reinforce its own push toward the postseason.
