 | Montreal Draws Blanks Against Kitts Friday, August 3rd , 1883 Tom Kitts of the Indianapolis Stars was on top of his game. The 22-year-old tantalized the Montreal Tigers with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 1-0. "He had the changeup working," Montreal manager said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Indianapolis hurler had 3 strikeouts, gave up 2 walks and surrendered 8 hits in his complete-game effort. Kitts told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league." "If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said. To date, Kitts has a 11-12 mark in 23 starts with a 2.44 ERA. He has given up 215 hits in 199 innings, struck out 44 and issued 48 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .261 batting average against him. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |   |
