Jesus Paez turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday, not allowing a single earned run while striking out 12 over seven innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with less than two walks allowed. On the season, Paez has an ERA of 1.56 over 31.3 innings pitched.
Paez's strong effort led Shafter over Wasco and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Paez has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 0.7 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Wasco has only allowed 3.28 per game this season.
