Alfonzo makes

MLB debut

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Catcher Eliézer Alfonzo has made his major league debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers with his sister and stepmother still missing after Venezuela’s catastrophic earthquakes.

The 26-year-old Alfonzo batted ninth and caught Emmet Sheehan in the Dodgers’ home game against the San Diego Padres. Alfonzo’s sister and stepmother have been missing since multiple earthquakes hit his homeland on June 24. Several Latin American media outlets reported their bodies had been found in the wreckage of the hotel in La Guaira where they were staying, but the Dodgers announced no confirmation of the news. Alfonzo spent nearly a decade in the minors before getting his first call-up this weekend.
