Castro Hurls Shutout
Saturday, September 25th, 2027
The Calgary Cowboys shut out the Mexico City Cerveceros 3-0 today behind the strong pitching of Esteban Castro. Castro surrendered only 2 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 9.
Following the last out, Castro appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Mexico City manager Clayton Stewart, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Castro's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Cerveceros skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Cowboys press conference, Castro confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Castro said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Calgary manager António Esparza added.
This year Castro has recorded a 10-13 mark. In 35 starts he has fanned 139 batters in 180 innings with a 4.95 ERA.
