"I hope we miss him next time," the New York (N) manager said. "Rowe certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."
Boston (N) starter Schoolboy Rowe tamed the New York (N) Giants 5-0 with a 4-hit shutout, finishing the game with 4 strikeouts and 1 walk in a sharp outing.
"I enjoy facing a team like that where I can get an out on one, two or three pitches," Rowe said. "It gives me a chance to be a lot more aggressive."
