 | Wednesday, August 28th, 2030: Athletics Torres Stops Royals He didn't put a spell on them. It wasn't black magic, it was just old-fashioned good pitching. That's how José Torres of the Oakland Athletics blanked the Kansas City Royals 4-0. After tossing a complete-game 4-hit shutout, he was all smiles, saying, "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game. I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance." His own skipper said, "He's at his best when he gets ahead of the hitters." Torres walked 1 and struck out 5 in the victory. The Royals manager commented on their lack of success against him, saying, "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes." This season Torres has worked 196.2 innings with 138 strikeouts en route to a 15-6 record and a 3.52 ERA. |
