Pimentel Shuts Out Tabasco Saturday, September 23rd , 2051 John Pimentel of the Chihuahua Aztecs was on top of his game today. The 31-year-old tantalized the Tabasco Tacos with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 5-0 shutout. "He had the changeup working," Tabasco manager Oscar Camarillo said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Chihuahua hurler had 7 strikeouts, gave up 2 walks and surrendered 1 hit in his complete-game effort. Pimentel told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league." "If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said. So far this year Pimentel has a 8-3 record with a 3.71 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
