Red-Hot Starks Cools Off Indianapolis: There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.
Jeffrey Starks of the Durham Bulls blanked the Indianapolis Indians, 8-0, at Durham Bulls Athletic Park today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 4-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.
"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Starks said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."
Starks walked 0 and struck out 10 in the victory.
"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Indians manager John Wasdin said later.
This season Starks has crafted a 13-4 mark with a 4.14 ERA in 148 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .269 against him and he has 112 strikeouts.
