Wade Walton was dynamite on Thursday, striking out ten batters over 6.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and only one walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with more than six strikeouts. This year, Walton has an ERA of .84 over 33.3 innings pitched.
