Paredes spins five hitless frames for Bandits

It was almost déjà vu all over again for River Bandits pitching coach Drew French, but it took a few innings for him to notice. A day after starter Carlos Sanabria carried a perfect-game bid into the seventh, Enoli Paredes, the No. 2 Astros prospect, also flirted with history.
"Honestly ... didn't cross my mind again," the coach said. "He walked a guy in the third inning, and that's the first time I actually looked at the scoreboard and realized, 'Oh man, here we go again.'"

"Everything was really solid with his fastball and both of his breaking balls. As long as you have two pitches that you can rely on, you can probably get two times through the order. And he had three pitches," French said. "He had pretty good command to all three of them and he was able to do some things, similar to Carlos Sanabria, where was able to get some early contact."
Gameday box score
Just like Sanabria did Tuesday, Paredes found a quiet corner in the dugout between frames. The only baserunner the Astros right-hander allowed was Ben Rortvedt on a four-pitch walk with one out in the third.

While the coach said Paredes' changeup wasn't quite there, the 21-year-old Dominican Republic native was able to execute with his other three offerings, throwing 40 of his 66 pitches for strikes. Three of his punchouts came in three-pitch at-bats.
