LARA TAKES COMMAND IN VENEZUELAN POSTSEASON

Robert Perez cracked a homer, scored twice and drove in three runs to lead the Lara Cardenales to an 11-6 win over the Caracas Leones Thursday night in Venezuelan League playoff action. The win gave Para a 6-2 playoff record, 2.5 games ahead of the Leones and Aragua, who are both 3-3 in the five-team round robin.


Aragua needed extra innings Thursday night to finally beat Zulia, 3-2. Tigres infielder Martin Prado scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 12th as reliever Johan Pino turned in two scoreless frames for Aragua. Alberto Callaspo accounted for both Zulia runs with a two-run homer as the Aguilas fell to 2-3. La Guaira is also 2-3 after dropping a 4-1 decision to Caracas on Wednesday night.
