Gwinnett Shuts Out Charlotte, 9-0 Wednesday, June 10th , 2111 The Gwinnett Braves shut out the Charlotte Knights, 9-0, behind the strong pitching of Kevin Murphy. Murphy surrendered only 8 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 14. Following the last out, Murphy appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Charlotte manager Nick Zlomke, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Murphy's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Knights skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Braves press conference, Murphy confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Murphy said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Gwinnett manager A.J. Godfrey added. Checking out his stats for the year, Murphy has racked up 5 wins and 3 losses in 12 starts, posted a 2.31 ERA, and struck out 80 batters in 78 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log |
