Thursday 9/15/1988: Fernando Valenzuela quiets Cincinnati bats with shutout
CINCINNATI - St. Louis' lefty Fernando Valenzuela is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking Cincinnati on just 2 hits. It's his 1st shutout this season, and the 8th time he has done it in his career. Rafael Palmeiro spoiled the bid for a no-hitter when he singled with two outs in the 5th inning. 'I didn't feel that I had good stuff while warming up. But it got better the more I threw the ball. I guess I was lucky.' Valenzuela (12-11) fanned 7 and walked none, throwing 112 pitches. St. Louis' shortstop Tim Raines Sr. went 1 for 4, homering once, and collecting 3 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Valenzuela. The final score of the game was 9-0.
