Raúl Vélez Blanks Connecticut, 5-0
It wasn't easy but Raúl Vélez made it look that way.

Vélez silenced the Connecticut Defenders, 5-0, in a Altoona Curve triumph at Blair County Ballpark today. Despite the appearance of dominance, Vélez said later that he felt like he was struggling all game. He gave up 4 walks and 3 hits.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I made the decision to bear down and work through it," he said. "I made a few mistakes but it goes to show what you can do with grit and not much else."

This year Vélez has gone 6-6 with an ERA of 2.44 and has 101 strikeouts in 99.2 innings.
