VICENTE VÁSQUEZ ANATO | CARACAS.- September 2 will be recorded forever in the memories of Venezuelans Yohander Méndez and Víctor Reyes, who said that day they won their first victory and their first home run in the Major Leagues, respectively.

The Texas Rangers pitcher, who had previously made 11 appearances on the guard's mound, was intractable in his opening on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, throwing six shutout innings, where he only allowed three hits, also conceding a ticket and striking out two batters.

"I wanted to show the guys on the team that I can throw at this level," the loss told SportsDay at the end of the game. "I focused on attacking the area. We had a good plan and I used it. "

For his part, Reyes lived a dream day against the New York Yankees, going 5-4 with a home run, two doubles and three RBIs, recording his first game of four hits.

The Detroit Tigers rookie connected to reliever Sonny Gray for his first homerun after 82 games.

"An incredible emotion. Going through the bases for the first time, at Yankee Stadium, you can not describe the moment, "said the outfielder.
