Velasquez Gives Montreal Goose Eggs
In a seemingly effortless performance, Robert Velasquez of the Nashville Lasers shot down the Montreal Canadiens, 8-0, on 3 hits.

"Robert was just locating so well and using his pitches," Nashville manager Kenny McElhaney said later. "He wasn't leaving anything over the plate."

Velasquez recorded 6 strikeouts and 2 walks in a strong outing.

"When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game," Montreal manager said in postgame comments to BNN. "We couldn't get a key hit off him."
