| Thursday, September 21st, 2017: Tew Holds Brooklyn Scoreless
The St. Louis manager told reporters after the game, "When he started out, his command wasn't that good, but he's a tough guy. The more pitches he throws, the better his command is."
He was talking about Fred Tew, who had just hurled a fine 5-hit shutout over the Brooklyn Dodgers. He had 7 strikeouts and 1 walk in the St. Louis 5-0 victory.
"An outstanding job," the Brooklyn manager said. "We couldn't get anything going. Every time we got a hit, he got out of the jam. He pitched a terrific game."
This season Tew has fanned 147 in 210 innings and collected a 12-12 record with a 2.96 ERA.
