Nunez Brilliant, Fans 15
Everything was working for Ricky Nunez at Scripps Field. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working.

In an unforgettable performance, the 20-year-old Nunez fanned 15 Fighting Iguanas and sparked the 5-4 Montreal Cardinals victory over Boca Raton. He left Fighting Iguanas hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it.

"I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Montreal manager Emmanuel Even. "His location and command were really something."

In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 8 innings, Nunez allowed 9 hits and 3 walks in a superlative outing.

"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Nunez said with a smile.

This season, Nunez has worked 32.1 innings with 43 strikeouts en route to a 2-2 record and a 6.12 ERA.
