It was an underclassman who stole the show on Monday as Jordan Rhyner came into the matchup with something to prove. Monache had no answer to Rhyner as he struck out 12 batters over six innings while giving up four earned runs off four hits (and only one walk).
Rhyner's strong effort led El Diamante over Monache and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Rhyner has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 0.3 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Monache has only allowed 3.09 per game this season.
