G136

Rather than sulk about the heart-breaking lost last game, the Shires had to prepare for a matchup between 2 of the top candidates for the West's CYA: Ohtani and Suarez ... and both fan bases would end up disheartened.

Suarez gave up a 1st inning 3-R HR to Ozuna and went on to allow 6 R over 5.1 IP, en route to an 11-0 defeat.

Ohtani on the other hand, left the game with forearm tightness in the 2nd inning, and the Shires young bullpen decided to steal the show, pitching 8 shutout innings, including 3 by Ryan Reich who was credited with the win.

Anthony and DeLatuer added big HR for StL in the rout.
