Mlodzinski's Six Scoreless Innings

0:00On April 17th, Carmen Molodzinski switched things up for the Pittsburgh Pirates and etched his name in team history. In their two-nothing win over the Washington Nationals on April 15th at PNC Park, the righty reliever tossed six scoreless innings for the first, time this season. He gave up just two hits, two walks, and fan five on 81 pitches from the second through the seventh. The move came after starter Mason Montgomery, as manager Don Kelly eyed matchups against the net's strong left-handed hitters. Montgomery had dominated lefties with nine strikeouts in ten ad bats that year, so Molodzinski entered in a piggyback setup. Before this gym, Mozinski had trouble with lefties, letting them hit 355 with a 195 WHIP. Fans and teammates buzzed about his shutdown performance, putting him among elite company, only the fifth Pirates reliever since 1961, goes six or more scoreless with two hits or fewer. That list includes legends like Harby Haddicks and Doc Ellis, and Molodzinski's outing was

1:02the first such six scoreless frames from the pen since Steve, Cook in 1992. Kelly praised his command, and Molodzinski's back in the rotation soon, using this as fuel to own both sides of the plate and lock down starts all. Season.
