| Sunday, September 10th, 2017: Giants Get Shutout Win Over Brooklyn
He didn't put a spell on them. It wasn't black magic, it was just old-fashioned good pitching. That's how Michael Keith of the New York (N) Giants blanked the Brooklyn Dodgers 6-0.
After tossing a complete game 3-hit shutout, he was all smiles, saying, "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game. I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."
His own skipper said, "He's at his best when he gets ahead of the hitters." Keith walked 1 and struck out 7 in the victory.
The Dodgers manager commented on their lack of success against him, saying, "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes."
This season Keith has worked 156.2 innings with 106 strikeouts en route to a 13-6 record and a 2.99 ERA.
