Texas (AZL) Silences Chicago A (AZL), 1-0 Monday, August 17th , 2111 The Texas (AZL) Rangers shut out the Chicago A (AZL) White Sox, 1-0, behind the strong pitching of Steve Roland. Roland surrendered only 2 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8. Following the last out, Roland appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Chicago A (AZL) manager Eric Parks, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Roland's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The White Sox skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Rangers press conference, Roland confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Roland said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Texas (AZL) manager Danny Rios added. In 8 starts this season, Roland has recorded 3 wins and absorbed 3 losses. He has pitched 46.1 innings, allowed 46 hits, struck out 42 and has a 4.08 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
