Salvo Pitches Solons to Shutout Victory Wednesday, June 29th, 1938 There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching. Manny Salvo of the Sacramento Solons blanked the Portland Beavers, 1-0, at Moreing Park today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 6-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles. "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Salvo said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance." Salvo walked 0 and struck out 2 in the victory. "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Beavers manager Mark Cooley said later. This season Salvo has crafted a 3-6 mark with a 4.37 ERA in 94.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .304 against him and he has 25 strikeouts. View Boxscore View Game Log |
