The nine strikeouts came one shy of a career high for the 25-year old, and it was the sixth game in his professional career that Russo struck out nine or more batters in a game. The last instance was July 2, 2024, when he struck out 10 with Clearwater (A), against Dunedin. - Jake Starr - Reading Director of PR/Media Relations, Client Fulfillment & Broadcaster
