Bruce Zimmerman tossed the first complete game nine-inning shutout of the year in Minor League Baseball. Good for him! The problem is that he plays for the other team.
Our starter, Jake Faria, pitched well also. He allowed two runs (one earned) in six innings (a high for him for the season). He struck out six, allowing no walks.
Needless to say, there wasn’t much offense from Worcester tonight; the only extra-base hit was a double from Bobby Dalbec. Although Worcester wasn’t able to string anything together, remember that this is only the second time they’ve been shut out all season.
