Russ Befuddles Spokane in 7-0 Mexico City Win
Monday, July 31st , 2051
The Spokane Bulldogs manager was philosophical in the clubhouse following a shutout loss to the Mexico City Mole. The Bulldogs were overpowered by Mexico City starter Matt Russ, who hurled his club to victory, 7-0.
"It was just one of those games -- shake it off and do better next time," Steve Pugliese said.
Over 9 innings, Russ blanked Spokane on 3 hits with no walks and 10 strikeouts.
"I kept them off balance. I could tell a lot of them were late on fastballs because they were fouling them off. Once you see that, it sets them up for other pitches," Russ said.
"I set them up, where if they chased one breaking ball, they were going to chase another one."
On the season, Russ has a 5-5 record with a 3.25 ERA.
