New Orleans Hurler Captures 150th Victory Monday, September 10th , 2074 What would you do after you had just won your 150th game? Run around Coliseo Toros, presentado por VINS doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Steven Slothsburg -- that's not his way. After he notched number 150, the 34-year-old New Orleans hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Slothsburg commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help." Slothsburg got his milestone victory by beating the Cancun Toros 9-8. He held them to 8 hits in 5 innings and rung up 4 strikeouts with 3 walks. After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #150. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Slothsburg's face broke into a big smile. In his career. Slothsburg has posted a record of 150-141 and compiled a 4.48 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
