If not for a mistake by the Estrellas Orientales, the Gigantes would have been out of this playoff race. The Gigantes won ugly yesterday as they beat the Estrellas 4-3 in the tenth inning. Fernando Tatis made the key error that allowed Kendry Morales to score and give the once-strong Gigantes only their fourth win in this year’s playoffs. The Gigantes will need more of that luck if they want to play for a championship. Last night’s game between the Aguilas and the Tigres was suspended and will be made up at a later date. Rain was the indirect cause for the suspension. Although it wasn’t raining at game time, rain earlier in the day caused severe damage to the field, making conditions unfavorable for play.<\/p>\n
