Pirates Not Competitive in 6-0 Loss to Boston
Luis Tiant of the Boston Braves spun his magic on the Pittsburgh Pirates today. He blanked them 6-0 on 5 hits, registering 4 strikeouts and no walks.

"The bottom line was I just kept the ball down," Tiant said. "My breaking stuff was down. Everything was down."

Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, Boston skipper said the team "got solid pitching, good defense and took great team at-bats in a lot of different situations."

"Luis pitched really well but this was a solid performance by everyone," he said.

To date this season, Tiant has registered 14 starts, 12-1 won-lost mark, 2.09 ERA, 124.2 IP, 81 strikeouts and 38 walks. Opposing teams have hit .203 against him.
