Jiminez Sensational, 15 Ks Saturday, May 18th, 2019 Everything was working for Rich Jiminez today at Best Buy Ballpark. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 33-year-old Jiminez fanned 15 Orioles and sparked the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-0 victory over Baltimore. He left Orioles hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Pittsburgh manager Juan Ortega. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 7 innings, Jiminez allowed 1 hit and no walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Jiminez said with a smile. This year Jiminez has gone 4-2 with an ERA of 2.68 and has 61 strikeouts in 47 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log |
