Gonzalez Struts Stuff in Win Over Denver
The Denver Burros manager was philosophical in the clubhouse following a shutout loss to the St. Louis Explorers. The Burros were overpowered by St. Louis starter Jorge Gonzalez, who hurled his club to victory, 5-0.

"It was just one of those games -- shake it off and do better next time," Clark Anderson said.

Over 9 innings, Gonzalez blanked Denver on 5 hits with no walks and 6 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," Gonzalez said.

"I set them up, where if they chased one breaking ball, they were going to chase another one."

In 31 starts this season, Gonzalez has notched a 15-10 record and a 3.15 ERA.
