Lakers, Maldonado Silence MSL Las Vegas, 1-0 Monday, July 21st , 2053 The MSL Echo Park Lakers shut out the MSL Las Vegas Flamingos 1-0 today behind the strong pitching of José Maldonado. Maldonado surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 6. Following the last out, Maldonado appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for MSL Las Vegas manager David Buchanan, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Maldonado's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Flamingos skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Lakers press conference, Maldonado confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Maldonado said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," MSL Echo Park manager Mike Carlisle added. Up to now Maldonado has compiled an ERA of 4.94 with a 2-4 mark over 6 starts. He has 37 strikeouts in 47.1 innings and has held opponents to a .255 batting average. View Boxscore View Game Log |
