Placeholder Holds Barons Scoreless Tuesday, August 7th , 1962 Triple A Placeholder put a hex on the Birmingham Barons in a sparkling 9-0 shutout performance, mesmerizing them on a 4-hit gem. "I felt good physically," he said after the game. "Everything's comfortable. You should pitch well when that's the case." The Barons were anything but comfortable against the 26-year-old Oklahoma City Oilers hurler, who fanned 7 and gave up 1 walks. "Placeholder used his changeup very well, very effectively," said opposing manager . "He threw it in hitter's counts." Thus far this season Placeholder has posted a 5-10 record, started 18 games, struck out 74 batters in 125 innings and compiled a 4.68 ERA. |
