Royals suffer first shutout of'93
Blue Jays' Guzman baffles Kansas City in 8-0 Toronto victory
The Associated Press
TORONTO — Juan Guzman thought it was only a matter of time until he threw a shutout.
"I finally got it out of the way and can forget about it now." Guzman said yesterday after his five-hitter led the Toronto Blue Jays past the Kansas City Royals 8-0.
"Now I don't have to worry about people asking me when I'm going to get ashtu on anymore," said Guzman, who didn't pitched one in 146 previous starts in pro ball.
Guzman, 3-0, struck out nine and walked four in his third complete game in the majors, his first since last May 10. He increased his career
Anniversary Season
record to 29-8
"I had good enough stuff to go a couple more innings," Guzman said. "I could've thrown a couple of shutouts last year, but we had the best bullpins in the league and I didn't need to go nine innings. This year we still have a great bullpin, but I need to get some work."
"I'm sure he wanted the shutout, and I'm happy for him," catcher Pat Borders said, but it's like throwing a no-hitter, you can't throw any differently
Olerud backed Guzman with a career-high five hits. Olerud doubled twice, scored two runs and increased
his American League-leading batting average to 455.
"I just felt good at the plate," Olerud said. "I've worked on staying back and moved off the plate a little and I've gotten better plate coverage."
He became the first Toronto batter to get five hits since George Bell on Sept. 24, 1990, against Milwaukee.
Hipolito Pichardo, 1-1, allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings, struck out five and walked two.
"We were aggressive with the bats but just couldn't get anything going," Royals manager Hal McRae said. "Guzman was tough."
NOTES:
Kansas City was shut out for the first time this season.
*Toronto's Roberto Alonar left the game in the fourth inning with a bruised right tricep after he was hit by a pitch. X-rays were negative.
