 | Wednesday, August 20th, 1969: Mahaffey Pitches Angels to Shutout Win "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Angels manager told reporters after today's game. The Royals ran into a buzzsaw as Art Mahaffey cut them down to size 5-0 with a 5-hit shutout. His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one." In the complete game whitewash the California hurler doled out 1 walk and registered 6 strikeouts. In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Art goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be." Mahaffey also got some praise from the Kansas City manager. "He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings." In 25 starts this season Mahaffey has chalked up a 13-8 record and a 4.35 ERA. |
