Mike Garcia pitched a 2 hit shutout at Forbes Field where the Philadelphia-AL
Athletics beat the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 5 to 0.
Garcia(18-6) dominated Pittsburgh hitters. He didn't allow much, just 2 hits
and 1 walk in 9 innings. Philadelphia-AL had 11 hits for the afternoon.
The loss was charged to Billy Pierce(13-9). He allowed 11 hits and 2 walks in
7 innings. Garcia was obviously very pleased with his performance in the
aftermath of the game, 'It was just one of those games where everything
worked. My arm felt great, heck, I could have pitched another two or three
innings. I only hope that I can do it again next time out!'
