Tapani Hurls Kansas City to Shutout Win Saturday, September 12th, 1992
Today was Kevin Tapani's turn in the rotation for the Kansas City Royals and he made the most of it, shutting out the New York Yankees on 6 hits.
The 28-year-old right-hander led the Royals to an easy 11-0 victory, allowing 2 walks and tallying 7 strikeouts.
"I hope we miss him next time," New York manager Patrick McQuail said. "Tapani certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."
This season Tapani has registered 17 wins and 10 losses in 29 starts with a 5.14 ERA.
