Behind Luna, Asheville Blanks Rome, 3-0
Jesús Luna of the Asheville Tourists was on top of his game.

The 21-year-old tantalized the Rome Firebirds with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 3-0.

"He had the changeup working," Rome manager Aaron Holbert said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

The Asheville hurler had 7 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 6 hits in his complete-game effort.

Luna 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.
