| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, August 19th, 1997: Carson City Blanked by Robles
In an impressive outing, Sandro Robles whitewashed the Carson City Senators 4-0.
"I'm getting a lot more downward movement instead of side to side. That side-to-side stuff can get hit a long way," said Robles, who is throwing with more of an overhand motion.
"It's not rocket science. It was just a little adjustment, but that's all it took."
The Cincinnati hurler held Carson City scoreless, allowed 5 hits, chalked up 5 strikeouts and yielded 1 walk.
In the 1997 season Robles has recorded a 11-7 mark. In 23 starts he has fanned 30 batters in 163 innings with a 3.87 ERA.

The Memphis Biscuits met their match today in Cincinnati hurler Manuel Hernández. He kept them guessing the whole game and spun a 2-hit shutout.
"He just worked us over," the Memphis skipper said. "He probably didn't even take a shower after the game. I don't think he even worked up a sweat. They could probably pitch him again tomorrow."
