Red-Hot Ayers Cools Off Cleveland
Bulldog Ayers shut down the Cleveland Clippers, blanking them, 9-0, on 5 hits, ringing up 3 strikeouts and allowing 1 walk. The St. Louis Pilots pitcher appeared to get stronger as the game went on.

"I don't know if I was getting any stronger," Ayers said after the game. "I feel like my mechanics were getting better. I was able to make some adjustments and get a little more comfortable out there."

This season, Ayers has 23 wins and 10 losses and a 2.24 ERA.
