Grimes yielded 8 hits and had 8 strikeouts and 3 walks in the standout performance. "I thought he put the ball where he wanted to," Tacoma manager Claude Coleman said. "And that's just about the whole secret to pitching." Checking out his stats for the season, Grimes has notched 17 wins and 21 losses in 40 starts. His ERA is 3.13 and he's struck out 168 batters in 328 innings. |   |
