Castaneda Mows Down Irving in No-Hitter
Saturday, July 11th, 2020
"José Castaneda was just plain nasty on the mound today," according to his batterymate and quite a few of the Irving Blue Sox after the Casper hurler fired a 5-0 no-hitter.
The Blue Sox were powerless against him. "It is what we call in baseball 'filthy'... his stuff was just too much for us today," the losing manager told reporters after the game."
In an overpowering performance Castaneda faced 29 batters in all and finish the game with 6 strikeouts and 2 walks.
"After the first couple of innings, I knew I had some good stuff going," Castaneda said. "In the bullpen, it really wasn't that good, to be honest. But when I got out on the mound and flipped the switch, I had some pretty good stuff. I had a good fastball with control and I was able to throw my breaking ball and changeup for strikes."
In 5 starts this year Castaneda has crafted a 1-0 record and a 3.57 ERA.
