Shaw was led to victory by Nick Torres, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Torres was dialed in and didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. He played a big game the last time he faced Hardaway, so the team probably should've seen him coming.
Torres' strong effort led Shaw over Hardaway and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Torres has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 1.5 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Hardaway has only allowed 3.23 per game this season.
