 | Ryan Pitches Philadelphia to Shutout Victory Wednesday, October 6th, 1976: "Nolan Ryan is really a good pitcher when he throws strikes early in the count," said his manager after the Philadelphia hurler tossed a complete game 6-hit shutout against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "I went right after each hitter, trying to get ahead in the count," said Ryan. "I wanted them to swing the bats and keep my pitch count down. It worked. I felt strong the whole game, even in the last two innings." Ryan walked 1 and struck out 13 in the 2-0 victory. In 36 starts this season Ryan has rung up a 28-4 record and a 1.94 ERA. |
