Behind Righetti, Los Angeles Blanks Pittsburgh, 2-0 Saturday, September 4th, 1982 The Los Angeles Dodgers shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 today behind the strong pitching of Dave Righetti. Righetti surrendered only 5 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 9. Following the last out, Righetti appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Pittsburgh manager Eddie Komrska, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Righetti's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Pirates skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Dodgers press conference, Righetti confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Righetti said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Los Angeles manager Jason Gudim added. Thus far this season, Righetti has worked 195.2 innings with 166 strikeouts en route to a 16-5 record and a 2.02 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
