Wednesday, October 1st , 1975
Capping off a whirlwind month in which he went 5-1 with a 1.59 ERA, Pat Wagner was selected as September's Union League Pitcher of the Month today. Reporters caught up with the elated Pittsburgh starter as he left the clubhouse.
"I know it's difficult for pitchers -- when you have a bad start or two, people start wondering if you've lost it. Then you ride stretches like this one for all you can. You find it easier to come to the park every day because know you're contributing to the club, not just waiting for your turn in the rotation to make up for your last start."
Pat Wagner definitely contributed to the club. He had 0 starts, throwing 17 innings, striking out 12, and holding the opposition to a .210 average.
Wagner has a lifetime ERA of 3.44 with a record of 10 wins and 3 losses. |  | Pedro Maldonado Winner in September
