Valéncia Pitches 9-0 Shutout for Houston
The Chicago (A) White Sox had no answer today for Houston Astros pitcher Ted Valéncia. They failed to score a single run against him, losing 9-0. Chicago (A) managed only 6 hits off Valéncia, who had 9 strikeouts.

The extraordinarily popular Valéncia got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.

"Astros fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."

This season Valéncia is batting .241 with 63 hits and 23 home runs. He has scored 36 times and has 51 RBI.
