Paige Leads Los Angeles to 5-0 Win Over Portland
A favor to his bullpen. That's what Satchel Paige was doing at Vaughn Street Park today as he blanked the Portland Beavers in a 9-inning complete game shutout.

"I went out there to try to eat up innings and help out our bullpen," the Los Angeles Angels right-hander said later. "I felt I had my good stuff, and it turned out my command was solid."

Paige notched 4 strikeouts, surrendered no walks, allowed 3 hits, and kept the bullpen phone quiet all day long.

This year Paige has fashioned a 17-5 mark, 2.11 ERA and pitched 221.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .211 against him and he has logged 202 strikeouts.
