"It was just one of those games, shake it off and do better next time," he said.
George Brunet blanked them on 6 hits with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts.
"I kept them off balance. I could tell a lot of them were late on fastballs. They were fouling them off. Once you see that, it sets them up for other pitches," Brunet said.
"I set them up pretty good, where if they chased one breaking ball, they were going to chase another one."
Checking out his stats for the year, Brunet has racked up 6 wins and 4 losses in 12 starts, 3.89 ERA and struck out 54 batters in 83.1 innings. | | | Injuries | | Player | Injury | Out for... | Disabled List Status | | 1B Hector Espino | torn groin muscle | 2 weeks | On DL, eligible for return | | | Team Information | | Record overall | 49-69, .415 PCT | | Position in Division | 5th, 29.5 GB | | Record at home | 26-28, .481 PCT | | Record on the road | 23-41, .359 PCT | | Record in X-inning games | 1-8, .111 PCT | | Record in one-run games | 14-24, .368 PCT | | Record versus LHP | 16-31, .340 PCT | | Record versus RHP | 33-38, .465 PCT | | Record last 10 games | 4-6, .400 PCT | | Record in April | 10-15, .400 PCT | | Record in May | 13-14, .481 PCT | | Record in June | 12-14, .462 PCT | | Record in July | 8-18, .308 PCT | | Record in August | 6-8, .429 PCT |
