Yurisbel Gracial hit a two-run home run against Marinos de Lotte

September 11, 2019

Yurisbel Gracial connected his 24th home run of the season last Monday and drove in 2 runs, but his effort was insufficient to prevent the 11-6 defeat of the SoftBank Hawks against the Lotte Marines at the Yafuoku Dome in Fukuoka.

The Cuban outfielder also added a single in three at-bats and scored on a pair of occasions to raise his average to .318 and his total RBIs to 60. His compatriot and teammate Alfredo Despaigne went 0-for-3, with one run scored, one strikeout and one hit by pitch, to lower his average to .264.
