Caracas 8, Bravos 5

W- Victor Larez (1-0)
L- Casey Lawrence (0-1)
S- Jesus Pirela (5)

Caracas HRs by Astros players: None.

The capital club only scored in 1 inning, but that turned out to be all they needed to get the win. Caracas also erased a 5-0 deficit in the process with their 8-run barrage in the 5th.

Gregorio Petit smacked a 2-run double to begin the assault. One of the runners who came home was Danry Vásquez. Petit would eventually score on a ground-rule double from Ronald Bermudez. Carlos Perez grounded into a force out that would give Leones the lead, and then Danry added an RBI single. Petit, who kick-started the big inning, finished it as well after his RBI single.

Danry finished 3-3, while Gregorio Petit's 2 hits and 3 RBI all came in the 5th, and Carlos Perez finished 1-4 with 2 runs scored.

Los Leones will welcome the Cardinals of Lara to the capital tonight. First pitch is at 7:30 local time. Venezuelan time is currently 30 minutes behind Eastern Time. Well, at least until November 2nd, when it'll be 30 minutes ahead.
