Baltimore (Rk+) Shuts Out Johnson City Behind Smirnov, 7-0
In a remarkable performance, Baltimore (Rk+) Orioles starter Mike Smirnov beat the Johnson City Cardinals, 7-0, in an impressive 3-hit shutout.

The Orioles hurler finished with 10 strikeouts and no walks. He showed pinpoint control and a sharp fastball.

"It was a rough one for my guys," Johnson City manager Francisco Zamarripa said, following the game. "We weren't at our best and their guy was."
