Washington Nationals' second base prospect Tony Renda, 23, was waiting at second for a throw in from left, where Eddie Rosario, a 23-year-old outfield prospect in the Minnesota Twins' organization caught a two on, one out liner off Detroit Tigers' prospect Steven Moya's bat. Renda caught the throw for an inning-ending 7-4 DP that helped Arizona D-Backs' right-hander Archie Bradley complete a scoreless first in the Arizona Fall League's Fall Stars Game on Saturday night in Scottsdale, Arizona's Salt River Field at Talking Stick.

Renda showed off some range while fielding a grounder off Baltimore Orioles' backstop prospect Mike Ohlman's bat behind second base before throwing across his body for the third out of a 1-2-3 second by Bradley.

In his first at bat of the night, the Nats' 2012 2nd Round pick out of Cal State Berkeley, who put up a .307/.381/.377 line, 21 doubles, four triples, 19 stolen bases, 43 walks and 59 Ks in 107 games and 472 PAs at High-A Potomac in the Nats' system this season, hit an opposite field single on a 1-0 fastball from Cincinnati Reds' prospect Nick Howard, sending 21-year-old, 2011 New York Mets' 1st Round pick Brandon Nimmo from first to third before Nimmo eventually scored to make it 2-0 in favor of the AFL East.

The second time up, against 21-year-old Chicago White Sox' prospect Francellis Montas with a runner on third and two down in the third, Renda worked the count full before chasing a slider outside for a swinging strike three.

The AFL West got on the board in the fifth, scoring on a passed ball to make it 4-1 AFL East after four and a half innings in Arizona.
That was it for Renda...
So far in his first stint in the AFL, the diminutive (read: 5'8'') infielder (and after seeing him 5'8'' seems generous -- just kidding, sort of) has put up a .246/.267/.333 line with three doubles, a triple, two walks and 10 Ks for the Mesa Solar Sox.
The AFL East was up 5-2 in the 7th at the time this was published...
