GCL Blue Jays 6 GCL Yankees East 3 - Game 1 (7 Innings)

Orelvis Martinez hit a two-run home run and drew a walk in his other at-bat before Pedro Hurtado pinch-hit for him and drew a walk. Jhon Solarte had a pair of hits and Hugo Cardona drew a couple of walks and added his 20th stolen base of the year. Yhon Perez singled, walked and swiped a bag.

The G-Jays used three pitchers to get through the first two innings. Elixon Caballero made just his second appearance of the year by getting the first two outs—one of them a strikeout—while giving up a hit and a walk. The 19 year-old Venezuelan righty pitched one game for Bluefield where he gave up one run in 3-1/3 innings in late June. He was assigned to Vancouver but never made an appearance for the C's. Miguel Olivo stranded the two runners for Caballero with an inning-ending punchout. Danny Barnes also saw the mound for the first time in a while. He faced the minimum three batters while striking out one. The last time Barnes pitched was in Buffalo back in late April. Winder Garcia gave up three runs (two earned) on two hits and two walks over five innings, ringing up three for the victory.
