Herbert Whitewashes Pirates Friday, May 1st , 2082 The Chicago Cubs shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-0 today behind the strong pitching of Adam Herbert. Herbert surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 12. Following the last out, Herbert appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Pittsburgh manager Todd Vermesch, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Herbert's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Pirates skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Cubs press conference, Herbert confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Herbert said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Chicago manager Vin Calia added. Checking out his stats for the season, Herbert has registered 4 wins and 1 loss in 6 starts, 2.70 ERA and struck out 47 batters in 40 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log |
