 | Turgeon Holds Indianapolis Scoreless Friday, August 18th , 1916 The Indianapolis Red Caps ran into a buzzsaw at Des Moines Base Ball Park, as Des Moines Browns starter Mike Turgeon cut them down to size, 1-0, tossing a 3-hit shutout. "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," Browns manager Walt McDermott told reporters after the game. "Mike 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 Des Moines hurler doled out 1 walk and registered 2 strikeouts. So far this year, Turgeon has made 30 starts, tossed 248 innings, struck out 112 batters and walked 66. His record is 13-15 with a 4.32 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .288 batting average. |   |
