Nuno beats Angels

Vidal Nuno

Former Wild Things pitcher Vidal Nuno earned his first win of the season last night when the New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 9-2.

Nuno (1-0) allowed a run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out three and retired 14 of the last 15 batters he faced. It was the second major league victory for the Wild Things' opening day starter in 2011.

Alright, who among us predicted back in 2011, when Nuno was pitching at Consol Energy Park against Southern Illinois, Windy City and Traverse City (2-0 in those 3 home starts) that one day Albert Pujols and Mike Trout would combine to go 0-for-6 with a strikeout against him? Of course, who knew about Mike Trout back then?
