Cuban player Andy Pagés, who recently made his debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers, hit his first home run in the Major Leagues during Sunday’s game.
The hit served to put the icing on the cake in the loss that the Los Angeles team gave the New York Mets 10-0.
The match was all for the Dodgers, who opened the scoring in the third inning thanks to a two-run home run by Japanese Shohei Ohtani.

The game continued its course and, a couple of innings later, in the fifth, was when Los Angeles took the opportunity to pulverize the hopes of the New Yorkers.
The party was started by Mookie Betts with a single RBI that took Cuban Andy Pagés to the rubber.
Later, Freddie Freeman hit a two-run double that put the stock at 5-0 in favor of his team.
The fair of hits would continue in the hands of Will Smith, who, like Freeman, contributed another two streaks to his squad with a double.
And that was when Andy Pagés came on the scene, hitting a solid hit that sent the ball deep into center field, a three-run home run that sealed the match.
In that inning, Pagés scored two runs and drove in three, showing that his talent is undeniable.
The young Cuban’s debut took place last week, serving as center fielder and seventh in the batting order.

By then, Pagés did not wait too long to make himself noticed on the field, hitting the first shot unstoppably.
With just a few appearances, the Antillean has already shown his manager, Dave Roberts, what he is capable of doing in the box.
