Phillips Too Tough, Blanks Lakewood Monday, September 9th , 2109 The Hagerstown Suns shut out the Lakewood BlueClaws, 11-0, behind the strong pitching of Chris Phillips. Phillips surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8. Following the last out, Phillips appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Lakewood manager Steve Reinke, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Phillips's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The BlueClaws skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Suns press conference, Phillips confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Phillips said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Hagerstown manager Chris Schneider added. Checking out his stats for the season, Phillips has racked up 7 wins and 4 losses in 13 starts, posted a 3.10 ERA, and struck out 112 batters in 107.1 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log |
