Monday 5/23/2000: Gary Glover blanks Pittsburgh with a 2-hitter
HOUSTON - Houston's right-hander Gary Glover is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. Pittsburgh found out the hard way, getting just 2 hits. Glover 2nd shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 2nd shutouts in his career. 'I was able to keep´em off balance. That certainly helped.' Glover (2-4) struck out 5 and walked 2, throwing 72 of 118 pitches for strikes. The hitting star for Houston was shortstop Omar Vizquel, he went 2 for 3, blasting a homerun, scoring twice and collecting 2 RBI. Houston scored 4 runs on 6 hits.
Monday 5/23/2000: Jim Abbott blanks Colorado with a 2-hitter
ATLANTA - Atlanta's left-hander Jim Abbott is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking Colorado on just 2 hits. It's his 2nd shutout this season, and the 7th time he has done it in his career. Abbott (8-2) showed excellent control, walking nobody and fanning 3. 'Winning is the most important thing. And I gave my team all the support it needed!' Atlanta's shortstop Archi Cianfrocco got 3 hits in 3 AB, doubling twice, and collecting 2 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Abbott. Atlanta scored 4 runs on 10 hits.
