| Friday, September 5th, 2031: García Shuts out Coos Bay
In an impressive outing, Raúl García whitewashed the Coos Bay Breakers 7-0.
"I'm getting a lot more downward movement instead of side to side. That side-to-side stuff can get hit a long way," said García, who is throwing with more of an overhand motion.
"It's not rocket science. It was just a little adjustment, but that's all it took."
The Trenton hurler held Coos Bay scoreless, allowed 5 hits, chalked up 4 strikeouts and yielded 1 walk.
Thus far this season, García has worked 38.2 innings with 12 strikeouts en route to a 3-0 record and a 3.03 ERA.
