Rivera Holds Gold Rush Scoreless
Sunday, August 26th, 2007
There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.

Jorge Rivera of the Lerdo Wolfhounds blanked the Minatitlan Gold Rush, 6-0, at Gold Rush Ballpark today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 9-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.

"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Rivera said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."

Rivera walked 2 and struck out 5 in the victory.

"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Gold Rush manager Phil Gose said later.

This season in 18 starts Jorge Rivera has a record of 7-9 with 93 strikeouts in 140.1 innings and a 3.85 ERA.
