Esperana 3-for-4 in Metropolitanos Win
No one was more impactful than Xadreque Esperana in the 7-4 Havana win over Toronto. Esperana, who led the EC in wins above replacement with 7.6 in 2075, was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Huggy Bruce got the win, improving to 2-0. He worked 6.2 innings, giving up 4 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 0. Toronto, with the loss, is 5-2.

In the top of the fourth, with the bases loaded, Esperana came to the plate. He got hit by a pitch, driving in 1 run off Daniel Taylor to put the Metropolitanos in the lead, 5-4.

"We're obviously playing with a lot of confidence," said Havana manager Kevin Mayerhofer.
