In winter ball action last night, Juan Lagares went 1 for 4 with a triple, run batted in and scored a run for the Aguilas Cibaenas in the Dominican Winter League.
Lagares is now slashing .195/.209/.293 with two doubles, triple and nine RBI in 41 at-bats. He has one stolen base and has struck out four times compared to only one walk.
Mets right-hander Rafael Montero made his second appearance of winter ball and it was ugly. He faced four batters, allowing three runs on three hits and recorded just one out for the Leones del Escogido. One of the hits given up by Montero was an RBI triple to Lagares.
In Montero’s first outing on Monday he didn’t give up any runs, but walked two and allowed a walk in two thirds of an inning.
Infield prospect Phillip Evans has continued his great 2016 regular season right into winter ball for the Criollos de Caguas in the Puerto Rican League. In 19 games, the 24-year old is hitting .311/.386/.446 with five doubles, triple, home run and 13 runs knocked in.
