Cristian Nunez is playing his 1st game since being called up from FCL (where he had a 6.23 ERA).

1-2-3 1st inning with 2 strikeouts, though.

Like he's jittery, or he makes lots of fielding errors?
He has 8 errors in 56 games between 2B & SS apparently...but he's played 95 games & he doesn't DH much so that seems incorrect.

Fangraphs has the same thing as the MiLB page did...it also shows him as DHing in 6 games, so it definitely doesn't add up.

Oh, but it shows him playing in 66 games this season, so almost. Oh well, he seems fine.

Lyonell James got a double in the 5th for Salem's 1st hit.
Cruz also pitched a 1-2-3 6th with 2 strikeouts, but apparently was left in too long & walked 3 in a row in the 7th, then Caleb Bolden came in & let all his people score.

Bastardo is wisely tanking his value the last couple weeks to ensure he isn't drafted in the Rule 5.
