He blanked the New Jersey Hitmen 3-0 on 6 hits and had 1 walk and 6 strikeouts.
"You know what he's going to throw. You know what to expect. And you still can't hit it," the New Jersey skipper told reporters after the shutout loss to the Arlington Bureaucrats.
"He just had a real deceiving fastball today and he was throwing it for strikes."
In 2008 Workman has compiled a 12-5 mark with a 2.79 ERA. | | | Injuries | | Player | Injury | Out for... | Disabled List Status | | P Jerry Jones | fractured elbow | 13 months | Not on DL | | | Team Information | | Record overall | 93-63, .596 PCT | | Position in Division | 1st, - GB | | Record at home | 48-30, .615 PCT | | Record on the road | 45-33, .577 PCT | | Record in X-inning games | 5-4, .556 PCT | | Record in one-run games | 17-21, .447 PCT | | Record versus LHP | 35-20, .636 PCT | | Record versus RHP | 58-43, .574 PCT | | Record last 10 games | 7-3, .700 PCT | | Record in April | 16-7, .696 PCT | | Record in May | 16-12, .571 PCT | | Record in June | 15-10, .600 PCT | | Record in July | 17-12, .586 PCT | | Record in August | 16-13, .552 PCT | | Record in September | 13-9, .591 PCT |
