Austin Shuts Out Tampa Bay, 17-0
Friday, August 16th , 2024
The Tampa Bay Captains were almost helpless in their 17-0 loss to the Austin Desperados and hurler J.R. Mitchell. Mitchell kept the Captains confused all game, spinning a 3-hit shutout.

"Tip your hat to Mitchell," Tampa Bay manager Roberto Quesada said in a postgame interview. "He kept us off balance all night."

The 34-year-old right-hander had 1 walk and 5 strikeouts in a strong performance.

"It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play," Mitchell said. "It was just one of those games that things went my way."

His record for the year is 9-8 in 26 starts and Mitchell has a 4.05 ERA.
