Burkett Hurls Phillies to Shutout Victory Wednesday, September 2nd , 1903 Jesse Burkett was throwing strikes early and getting ahead in the count, his manager said after the Philadelphia Phillies hurler tossed a 4-hit, complete game shutout against the Baltimore Orioles. "I went right after each hitter, trying to get ahead in the count," said Burkett. "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." Burkett walked 2 and struck out 4 in the 1-0 victory. For the season, Burkett is hitting .303, batted in 35 runs with 4 home runs and 76 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
