Cuban Andy Pagés continues to give something to talk about in the Major Leagues, and this time, he hit his third home run so far this season.
It is worth remembering that the prospect’s debut occurred just a few weeks ago, and since then, he has more than demonstrated that he is ready to play at the highest level of American baseball.
This new home run came in the victory that his team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, took before the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
In fact, it was that hit by Andy Pagés that served to open the scoring in the second leg of the match, also driving in Enrique Hernández.

In that same inning, the Dodgers scored three more runs, quickly making it 5-0 that would make Arizona give up.
In the third, Will Smith would hit another home run to score his team’s sixth score, while in the seventh, the uncontrolled pitching of the Diamondbacks gave another two runs to the Los Angeles team, putting the final score at 8-0.
With this victory, the Dodgers continue adding and continue to move away in the West Division of the National League, where they are already 4.5 games ahead of their immediate pursuers, the San Diego Padres.

Lourdes Gurriel’s Diamondbacks, for their part, will have to raise their heads quickly if they want to have aspirations of a great season like they did last year.
So far, the desert team is in fourth place in that same division, 5.5 games behind the Dodgers.
In another vein, Andy Pagés continues to demonstrate to the management of his organization that promoting him to the Major Leagues was, definitely, a great decision.
