Tuesday 7/9/2013: Josh Hancock pitches his 3rd shutout of the season
KANSAS CITY - Chicago (A)'s right-hander Josh Hancock is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. Kansas City found out the hard way, getting just 2 hits. Hancock 3rd shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 4th shutouts in his career. With no outs in the 5th inning Ramon Santiago singled to break up the no-hitter. 'I was able to keep´em off balance. That certainly helped.' Hancock (7-3) fanned 3 and walked none, throwing 89 pitches.
