Appier Spins Shutout Against Spiders
Kevin Appier of the Florida Marlins spun his magic on the Cleveland Spiders today. He blanked them 10-0 on 5 hits, registering 8 strikeouts and 1 walk.

"The bottom line was I just kept the ball down," Appier said. "My breaking stuff was down. Everything was down."

Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, Florida skipper Stephen Ginter said the team "got solid pitching, good defense and took great team at-bats in a lot of different situations."

"Kevin pitched really well but this was a solid performance by everyone," he said.

So far this season, Appier has logged a 13-6 record with a 3.00 ERA. He has started 26 games, hurled 204.1 innings and registered 202 strikeouts and 69 walks.
