The Cuban of the San Francisco Giants, Jorge Soler, hit his fourth home run of the campaign on Friday in the Major Leagues.
The home run by the ‘Cubano Gigante’ represented the only run for his team, which ended up losing by an overwhelming 17-1 defeat against the Arizona Diamondbacks, where another Cuban plays: Lourdes Gurriel.
Arizona started winning the game with a run in the third inning, and another in the fourth, making the game 2-0.

It was then that Jorge Soler appeared and, using his strength, sent the ball to the stands located in left field, discounting the score and giving hope to his team.
But that was nothing more than the beginning of a nightmare for the Giants, and that hope, in the blink of an eye, disappeared.
Two runs in the fifth section opened the gap in favor of the Diamondbacks, who would begin with their fair of hits, including ‘Yunito’.
Arizona added two more in the seventh, and another six in the eighth, one of them driven in, precisely, by Gurriel.
With the game at 15-1, and with some Giants who were already completely on the canvas, without the ability to react, the current National League champions sought to strike one last blow in the last episode.
Singles by Eugenio Suárez and Gabriel Moreno completed the beating against the Giants, with 17-1 being the final result of the match.

Currently, both teams have a negative record in almost a month of the season. In the case of Arizona, it has 10 wins and 11 losses, while San Francisco has a record of nine wins and a dozen losses.
Both will have to raise their heads as soon as possible if they want to have aspirations of reaching the postseason, which, it should be noted, is still an eternity away.
