Harrisburg No Match for Budde: Chris Budde of the Fresno Orange Sox was on top of his game today.
The 24-year-old tantalized the Harrisburg Senators with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 7-0 shutout.
"He had the changeup working," Harrisburg manager Adrian Williams said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."
The Fresno hurler had 7 strikeouts, gave up no walks and surrendered 2 hits in his complete-game effort.
Budde told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."
"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.
