Valrie Hurls Mexico to Shutout Win Monday, June 4th, 2007 The Mexico Diablos Rojos shut out the Havana Industriales 3-0 today behind the strong pitching of Zaire Valrie. Valrie surrendered only 5 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 4. Following the last out, Valrie appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Havana manager Ralph Cero, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Valrie's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Industriales skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Diablos Rojos press conference, Valrie confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Valrie said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Mexico manager Talbot Mifflin added. Valrie has made 10 starts so far this year and put up a 4-3 won-lost record with a 3.58 ERA. In 65.1 innings he has allowed 73 hits, walked 12 and struck out 36. View Boxscore View Game Log |
