Diablos Rojos Not Competitive in 8-0 Loss to Tijuana Wednesday, July 20th , 2039 The Tijuana Toros shut out the Mexico Diablos Rojos 8-0 today behind the strong pitching of Victor Rodriguez. Rodriguez surrendered only 8 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8. Following the last out, Rodriguez appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Mexico manager Rodrigo Aguirre, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Rodriguez's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Diablos Rojos skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Toros press conference, Rodriguez confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Rodriguez said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Tijuana manager Wilfredo Arano added. This season Rodriguez has worked 105.2 innings with 95 strikeouts en route to a 9-6 record and a 4.68 ERA. View Boxscore |
