 | Monday, June 23rd, 1969: Briles Bewilders Athletics in Shutout "I hope we miss him next time," the Oakland manager said. "Briles certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds." Detroit starter Nelson Briles tamed the Oakland Athletics 8-0 with a 2-hit shutout, finishing the game with 4 strikeouts and 2 walks in a sharp outing. "I enjoy facing a team like that where I can get an out on one, two or three pitches," Briles said. "It gives me a chance to be a lot more aggressive." On his stats sheet this season Briles shows a 9-3 record, 18 starts, 117.2 innings, 66 strikeouts and a 3.98 ERA. |
