Random:  I don't even want to think about what John Sterling might say if the Yankees get a player named Adonis.

J. Retherford and Renny Osuna hit RBI singles to make it 6-3 La Guaira.  Lara made it 6-4 in the bottom of the eighth, but La Guaira got three more in the ninth, with Retherford again coming through, this time with a two-run single.  Lara did not get the tying run up to bat.
