Wednesday, September 7th, 2039: Razor-Sharp Rodgers Blanks Tokyo
On the hill John Rodgers stood out and was the master of the moment as he blanked Tokyo 13-0.

At bat the Cyclones floundered, fizzled and failed to score.

"His fastball moves and he mixes in the slider," the Tokyo manager said. "He kept us off-balance."

The Edmonton pitcher hurled a 4-hit shutout in an exceptional effort. He gave up 1 walk and had 11 strikeouts.

"I felt good," Rodgers said. "That's probably the best fastball I've had all season. I was able to locate it pretty well. They were super-aggressive, which helped me."

Looking at his season stats, Rodgers has won 14 and lost 10, collecting 207 strikeouts and 51 walks in 242.2 innings with a 2.93 ERA.
