 | Yankees Not Competitive in 7-0 Loss to Philadelphia Wednesday, September 29th, 1999 The Philadelphia Stars shut out the New York Yankees 7-0 today behind the strong pitching of Pete Alexander. Alexander surrendered only 6 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 4. Following the last out, Alexander appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for New York manager Chris Patricola, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Alexander's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Yankees skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Stars press conference, Alexander confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Alexander said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Philadelphia manager Frank Borawski added. In 34 starts this year Alexander has posted 16 wins while suffering 9 losses. He has pitched 209 innings, allowed 209 hits, struck out 136 and has a 3.36 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |   |
