Juan Valera Continues Low-A Scoreless Streak
When he was in the Florida Complex League, Red Sox righthander Juan Valera was one of the circuit’s best pitchers. Since moving to Low-A, he hasn’t let up one bit. That stretch continued on Tuesday, when he spun four hitless innings against Delmarva. He struck out five and walked two. In four appearances with Salem, Valera has allowed just one hit and five walks over a dozen shutout frames. He’s struck out 10. On Tuesday, he got 11 swings and misses in his four frames.
