Clark Whiffs 16, Oakland (WIN) Tops Minnesota (WIN)
Wednesday, December 22nd , 2049
Everything was working for Kevin Clark today at Papago Park Sports Facility. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working.
In an unforgettable performance, the 24-year-old Clark fanned 16 Twins and sparked the Oakland (WIN) Athletics to a 12-0 victory over Minnesota (WIN). He left Twins hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it.
"I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Oakland (WIN) manager Joel Baker. "His location and command were really something."
In addition to collecting 16 strikeouts over 7.1 innings, Clark allowed 2 hits and no walks in a superlative outing.
"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Clark said with a smile.
This season Clark has compiled a 3-0 record with a 0.76 ERA.
