Sunday 6/11/2036: Bill Capra turns in great performance against Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA - Bill Capra had some fun again. Philadelphia hitters did not. St. Louis' right-hander gave up just one hit in his 1st shutout of the season. He now has 13 career shutouts in 214 games started. With no outs in the 8th inning Cecil Sparks singled to break up the no-hitter. 'I had a good grip on the ball today and I was able to put it where I wanted. That kept them out of balance.' Capra (9-1) showed excellent control, walking nobody and fanning 7. St. Louis' shortstop Daniel Starrett collected 1 hit in 4 trips to the plate, hitting a homerun, and collecting 2 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Capra. The final score of the game was 2-0.
Tuesday 6/13/2036: It's NO-NO time for Britt Urbanek against New York (N)
NEW YORK (N) - Great things can happen when you throw strikes. And Britt Urbanek did so today, in a no-hit shutout against New York (N). Urbanek (9-1) struck out 7 and walked 4, throwing 67 of 116 pitches for strikes. 'Giving my team a chance to win is the most important thing for me. I was able to do it today, and it's especially nice to do it in such fashion.' St. Louis' third baseman Jacob Marinez finished with 1 hit in 4 AB. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Urbanek. St. Louis scored 5 runs on 7 hits.
Supposedly, My team can pitch. Urbanek is officially the wierdest pitcher I've ever owned in the history of my OOTP life. He followed this game up with a 10 BB, 2 H, 1 K in 5 IP performance and still ****ing won.
