 | Mendoza Fires Shutout in Reapers Win Sunday, September 2nd, 2029 The Grim Reapers shut out the Cincinnati Pride 9-0 today behind the strong pitching of Alonso Mendoza. Mendoza surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 14. Following the last out, Mendoza appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Cincinnati manager José Vásquez, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Mendoza's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Pride skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Reapers press conference, Mendoza confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Mendoza said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Grim manager Simon Gaudreau added. So far in 7 appearances this season, Mendoza has recorded 4 wins and sustained 2 losses. He has pitched 44 innings, yielded 36 hits, fanned 65 and has a 2.86 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |   |
