Reno Shut Out, 2-0, By Pickles, Jeney Saturday, July 6th , 2041 The Portland Pickles shut out the Reno Copper Kings 2-0 today behind the strong pitching of Nate Jeney. Jeney surrendered only 5 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8. Following the last out, Jeney appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Reno manager Kyle Aden, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Jeney's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Copper Kings skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Pickles press conference, Jeney confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Jeney said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Portland manager Fred Drake added. This season Jeney has a 10-5 mark in 17 starts with a 2.39 ERA. He has given up 86 hits in 116.2 innings, struck out 100 and issued 22 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .202 batting average against him. View Boxscore |
