Cardinals Clayton Tames Northwest Arkansas
Xavier Clayton was throwing strikes early and getting ahead in the count, his manager said after the Springfield Cardinals hurler tossed a 5-hit, complete game shutout against the Northwest Arkansas Naturals.

"I went right after each hitter, trying to get ahead in the count," said Clayton. "I wanted them to swing the bats and keep my pitch count down. It worked. I felt strong the whole game, even in the last two innings."

Clayton walked 0 and struck out 8 in the 3-0 victory.

In 6 starts this season, Clayton has registered a 2-4 record and a 4.07 ERA.
