Orange had no answer to Cristian Nieto on Wednesday as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over seven innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with more than five innings. This year, Nieto has an ERA of 3.22 over 54.3 innings pitched.
Nieto's strong effort led Santa Ana over Orange and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. Santa Ana has some work to do to even out the 1-9 series between these two since April of 2019, but a win here would be a good start.
