| Breaking News |  | Saturday, May 9th, 2009: Gonzáles Twirls Shutout
The Raleigh manager told reporters after the game, "When he started out, his command wasn't that good, but he's a tough guy. The more pitches he throws, the better his command is."
He was talking about Santiago Gonzáles, who had just hurled a fine 5-hit shutout over the New Brunswick Kingpins. He had 6 strikeouts and 1 walk in the Raleigh 2-0 victory.
"An outstanding job," the New Brunswick manager said. "We couldn't get anything going. Every time we got a hit, he got out of the jam. He pitched a terrific game."
This year Gonzáles has fanned 47 in 52 innings and collected a 5-1 record with a 1.38 ERA.

He racked up 10 hits in 26 at-bats, 3 home runs and 4 RBIs last week in 7 games.
This year Watts is hitting .326 with 4 home runs.
