Jesus Merlo was a major factor in Manvel's victory over South Houston on Friday. Merlo produced his best game of the campaign: he tossed 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. What's more, he posted five strikeouts, the most he's had over his last seven matches.

Merlo's strong effort led Manvel over South Houston and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Merlo's big game helped Manvel snap a nine-game streak of losses on the road. Can Merlo lead Manvel to another win and start a streak of a new kind?
