CLEVELAND, Ohio -- When Seattle reliever James Pazos entered Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians, he recalled the 0-2 fastball that he threw to Tribe slugger Edwin Encarnacion during a spring training game earlier this year.
"He hit it almost over the fence," Pazos said of the RBI double Encarnacion smashed during a Cactus League game in March.
Things were different this time around for Pazos, who entered in the sixth inning and struck out Encarnacion swinging, plus the next three Indians hitters he faced, lifting Seattle to a 3-1 win at Progressive Field.
The punchout of Encarnacion elicited a strange look from the Indians cleanup hitter.
