Stiever Skunks New Orleans, 6-0: Jonathan Stiever of the Sacramento River Cats was masterful today, pitching a 5-hit shutout, 6-0, against the New Orleans Baby Cakes.
By going the distance, he was at the same time able to give his bullpen a rest, a fact appreciated by Sacramento manager Gitana Padilla.
"It's nice to have someone who can do that from time to time," he said. "He had command of every ball and every pitch. Great location, too."
Stiever had 8 strikeouts and 3 walks in the outing.
So far this season, Stiever has logged a 3-2 record with a 2.28 ERA. He has started 8 games, hurled 55.1 innings and registered 48 strikeouts and 15 walks.
