Rodríguez Stars as Cuban Giants Top Sea Dogs, 6-4
Miami center fielder Julio Rodríguez played a vital role in his team's 6-4 conquest of Portland. He was 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for Miami. Ricky Nolasco got the save, his 22nd in 28 chances. The Cuban Giants raised their record to 69-72.

Yasiel Puig had a big 2-run home run for the Cuban Giants in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Miami leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Golden and swatted a home run to left. It was his 26th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cuban Giants ahead, 3-0.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Rodríguez.
