Canyon had no answer to Jose Aranda on Friday as he struck out seven batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his eighth in a row with more than five innings. On the year, Aranda has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 3.68 over 66.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.505/0.587/0.725 with 29 runs, plus 19 stolen bases.
Even though Aranda couldn't lead Clint over Canyon, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Clint will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 630 places lower in Texas), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Aranda? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
