Chicago Tops Minneapolis, 2-1 | The Chicago Dogs picked up a win at Paul Bunyan Stadium, knocking off the Minneapolis Millers, 2-1. Starting pitcher Pierre-Alexandre Girardin played a key role in the triumph. Girardin, now 7-5, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. The win puts Chicago at 39-60.
The outcome might have been different for Chicago, had it not been for Ron Azzaro, the 35-year old first baseman . Azzaro stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Chicago up, 2-0. For the game, he was 3 for 3, including 1 double and 2 singles.
"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Chicago manager Felix Hernandez said. | | | | |
