At the end of August, when he was still quite distant from the figure of 47 that Andrés "El Gato" Galarraga shot in 1996, Suarez confessed during a series in Miami his intentions to impose a new cap.

Two weeks to complete the regular calendar, the brand is at your fingertips, after an impressive offensive deployment so far in September, which already has 45 flips in your pocket.

In the week of September 8 to 14, Suarez hit the ball in the face and was the best Latino in the period in the National League, connecting seven hits in 21 turns, for an average of .333, with four runs scored and six driven.

As extrabases, in addition to his homers 43, 44 and 45, he added a double and a triple, for an average slugging of .905.

Another that shone in the last seven days was Dominican right-hander Sandy Alcantara of the Miami Marlins.

Alcantara, invited to the All-Star Game this year in Cleveland, started two games and worked 16 episodes in total, allowing only one run and 13 hits, with two bases on balls.

The young man, 24 years old recently on September 7, gave 14 strikeouts and had an effectiveness of 0.56.

In his first opening of the week he threw nine blank tickets to the

Kansas City Royals in the last game of an interleague series and scored the second laundering of the season and his career.

He then allowed a single clean in seven innings against the San Francisco Giants and charged with the 1-0 loss, not having offensive support.

His teammate, the Venezuelan Miguel Rojas, also had a good week, hitting ten rockets in 28 times, for an average of .357, with two scored and five towed.

His only extrabases were two biangular and the average slugging was .429.

The veteran Robinson Canó, of the New York Mets, greening laurels in the last seven days, by linking seven hits in 20 opportunities, for an average of .350, with four scored and three pushed.

Among his hits he added a double and pair of flips, for a slugging of .700.

And the Mexican Luis Urías, of the San Diego Padres, enjoyed the best offensive week of his life.

Uriah had failed to hit the Major League pitching so far and his anemic batting left many doubts about who is projected to be the team's second baseman for the next few years.

However, between Sunday 8 and Saturday, September 14, the 22-year-old Mexican shot 11 hits in 29 turns, for an average of .379, with four scored and five driven.

As extrabases a pair of doubles sounded and his slugging was .448.

The Puerto Rican

Yadier Molina, stellar catcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, had a poor week with the wood, when he only tied one hit in 17 turns, for an average of .059.

The good news is that Molina barely struck out once and kept hitting the ball, although almost always her battles went straight.

And the Dominican Aristides Aquino, of the Reds, stagnated after inscribing his name in the record books and hitting 14 homers in his first month in the majors.

Aquino left 18-3 (.167), with six fans and no home runs.

After dispatching 14 bambinazos in his first 27 games, he has only one in the next 16.

For this selection the statistics were taken from Sunday 1 to Saturday, September 7.
