| Breaking News |  | Friday, September 13th, 2030: Romero Sparkles, Blanks Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Pirates were almost helpless today in their 4-0 loss to Houston hurler Enrique Romero. He kept them confused the entire ballgame and spun a 3-hit shutout.
The Pittsburgh manager said in the postgame interview, "Tip your hat to Romero. He kept us off balance all night."
Romero said, "It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play. It was just one of those games that things went my way."
He had 2 walks and 9 strikeouts in a strong performance.
On his stats sheet this season Romero shows a 17-8 record, 31 starts, 202.2 innings, 189 strikeouts and a 2.84 ERA.
