Salió Mitch Lively con una espectacular labor de 7 innings sin carrera y apenas cuatro hits, y de inmediato @yaquis_oficial aprovecha el relevo de @venados_mzt para montar un racimo de tres carreras en la octava tanda y acercarse 3-4 en la pizarra. Sigue el ataque.#LaCasaDelRey pic.twitter.com/MDgvygG6bU
