Estrella at His Best, Whips Yard Dogs
Wednesday, July 3rd , 2019
The Mesa Razor Sharks shut out the Mobile Yard Dogs 6-0 today behind the strong pitching of Hector Estrella. Estrella surrendered only 5 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 7.

Following the last out, Estrella appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Mobile manager Gil Gomez, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Estrella's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.

The Yard Dogs skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Razor Sharks press conference, Estrella confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Estrella said.

"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Mesa manager Izzy Montano added.

This season Estrella has worked 126.2 innings with 137 strikeouts en route to a 11-2 record and a 1.42 ERA.
