| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, August 8th, 2029: Rodents Blank Princeton, Sasaki Picks up Victory
The Chesapeake manager told reporters after the game, "When he started out, his command was not that good, but he's a tough guy. The more pitches he throws, the better his command is."
He was talking about Hyosuke Sasaki, who had just hurled a fine 2-hit shutout over the Princeton Firedogs. He had 5 strikeouts and 1 base on balls in the Chesapeake Rodents victory.
"An outstanding job," the Princeton manager said. "We couldn't get anything going. Every time we got a hit, he got out of the jam. He pitched a terrific game."
Sasaki has registered 10 wins and 14 losses this season with a 4.03 ERA, and he has whiffed 69 batters in 189.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .251 against him.
