 | Dillard Records 5-0 Shutout Against Providence Sunday, August 30th , 1896 The Providence Patriots ran into a buzzsaw at Harbor Field, as Baltimore Tars starter Thomas Dillard cut them down to size, 5-0, tossing a 6-hit shutout. "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," Tars manager Curtis Uhrig told reporters after the game. "Thomas knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one." In the complete game win, the Baltimore hurler doled out no walks and registered 3 strikeouts. Checking out his stats for the year, Dillard has racked up 29 wins and 10 losses in 37 starts, posted a 2.35 ERA, and struck out 189 batters in 340.2 innings. View Boxscore |   |
