Cantú Spins 18-K Game
Everything was working for Chris Cantú at Houston Astros Blue. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The changeup was working.

In an unforgettable performance, the 25-year-old Cantú fanned 18 Astros Orange and sparked the 6-4 Baltimore (DSL) Orioles 1 victory over Houston 2 (DSL). He left Astros Orange 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 Baltimore (DSL) manager Omar Ramirez. "His location and command were really something."

In addition to collecting 18 strikeouts over 8 innings, Cantú allowed 6 hits and no walks in a superlative outing.

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