Drott Shuts Out Giants as Cub Rookie Excels
Cincinnati native Dick Drott, a Chicago Cub rookie, pitched a four hit shutout against the Giants, fanning 11 and walking one. Drott, 21, grew up cheering for Cincinnati Redlegs and recalled jeers aimed at Herman Wehmeier. He already set Cub single game strikeout records with 15 against the Braves and has 112 total this season. Cubs manager Bob Scheffing called him the best young pitcher in the league for his age, noting his blazing fastball and sharp curve and changeup.
