Leones del Escogido (13-6) 5, Toros del Este (7-12) 2 - Jose Marmolejos drove in the game-winning run with a single in the top of the third, then scored an insurance run when Ramon Laureano doubled in the eighth as the Leones won for the 13th time this season. Gregory Polanco and Erik Gonzalez contributed RBI doubles for Escogido, and starter Stephen Nogosek went five innings, allowing two runs on four hits, walking two and striking out four. Bryan De La Cruz drove in both of the Toros runs, one with a double in the first and the other with a single in the sixth.

Tigres del Licey (13-6) 8, Aguilas Cibaenas (6-12) 6 - Kevin Alcantara hit his fourth homer of the season, a two-run shot in the fifth, and Francisco Mejia and Ronny Mauricio contributed RBI doubles as the Tigres kept pace with the Leones. Dayan Frias drove in one run with a single and two more with a triple for the Aguilas, who fell into the LIDOM cellar with the loss.

Estrellas Orientales (8-10) 6, Gigantes del Cibao (9-10) 3 - St. Louis Cardinals prospect Leo Bernal hit a grand slam in the top of the first, Josh Lester hit a two-run homer in the fourth, and the Estrellas never trailed as they moved closer to .500 on the season. The Estrellas used nine different pitchers in the game, allowing nine hits and six walks, but the Gigantes went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight. Noelvi Marte hit his fourth homer of the year, a seventh-inning solo shot, for the Gigantes.
