Florida Blanks Cardinals, Arocha at His Best
Rene Arocha of the Florida Marlins spun his magic on the St. Louis Cardinals today. He blanked them 6-0 on 4 hits, registering 11 strikeouts and no walks.

"The bottom line was I just kept the ball down," Arocha 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."

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

This season Arocha has compiled a 8-0 mark with a 2.23 ERA.
