Torres is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They never let Caruthers get on the board and left with a 7-0 win. The Toros not only won on Friday, but they posted their biggest win since April 15th (when they won 10-2).
Matthew Escoto was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Torres is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 6-17 otherwise. Escoto was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI. Those two runs gave him a new career-high.
