Cates in Command, No-Hits Giants
Steve Cates relied on excellent pitch selection and pinpoint control to hold Detroit hitless in a win, 6-0, at Ballpark of Detroit.

"Nobody goes out to pitch a no-hitter," he said later. "We just go out and try to get a win. A 10-9 win is better than a 1-0 loss. My pitching buddies might not be too happy giving up nine runs but a win is a win. The key to it today was I mixed my pitches well. I kept the Giants off balance and guessing the whole game."

The 23-year-old starter rung up 12 strikeouts and 2 walks in whipping the Giants.

"When a guy is throwing strikes the way he was and is locating well, it is going to be a long day for any club," Detroit skipper Sean O'Leary said.

To date this season, Cates is 5-1 with 9 starts and an ERA of 2.34 with 75 strikeouts in 61.2 innings.
