"He was too darn good for us today," grumbled the Seattle manager after his club suffered a 8-0 shutout at the hands of Chuck Williams of the Tampa Bay Rays. He held the Seattle Mariners scoreless in a 4-hit whitewash.
Williams was in a zone of his own most of the game and finished with 8 strikeouts and no walks in a strong outing.
In a postgame quote his own skipper added, "He pitched his butt off, had good velocity, good movement and had those guys off balance. Chuck did a whale of a pitching job."
To this point in the season Williams has 6 wins and 6 losses and a 4.62 ERA. |
