Frongillo Befuddles Brooklyn in 8-0 Cincinnati Win: Irwin Frongillo of the Cincinnati Packers was on top of his game today.
The 27-year-old tantalized the Brooklyn Bluebirds with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 8-0 shutout.
"He had the changeup working," Brooklyn manager Steve Meyers said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."
The Cincinnati hurler had 2 strikeouts, gave up no walks and surrendered 4 hits in his complete-game effort.
Frongillo 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.
This season Frongillo has a 9-7 record with a 3.86 ERA in 21 starts.
