O'Brien in Cruise Control in 11-0 Win
The Orlando Oracles took it on the chin, losing 11-0 to the Houston Colt .45s. Fred O'Brien, who is on pace for 279 strikeouts this season, pitched a strong game for Houston. Houston is now riding a 3-game win streak.

O'Brien, who leaned on his cutter, allowed no runs on just 3 hits over 8 innings for the Colt .45s. For the most part, Orlando hitters were simply overmatched.

Colt .45s manager Crash Davis had nothing but praise for his players after an impressive win, calling the result one of the team's best performances of the season. "Everything just came together on our end," he said. "I didn't need to do too much."
