PENSACOLA, Fla. (August 26, 2018) - The Mobile BayBears, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, needed just a single run to defeat the Pensacola Blue Wahoos 1-0 Sunday evening at Blue Wahoos Stadium.
Jesus Castillo (9-4) tossed seven scoreless frames, matching his career-high. He worked out of a jam in the fifth inning after two singles to start the inning, inducing a double play and getting another groundout to end the inning.
Mitch Ghelfi also tied a career-high with four hits, going a perfect 4-for-4. His solo home run to lead off the seventh inning was the only run the BayBears (65-64 overall, 28-33 second half) needed.
Ryan Clark struck out five batters in a six-out save to complete the shutout, earning his fifth save.
Tony Santillan (4-3) took the loss for Pensacola (64-66, 34-28), despite allowing just one run on the Ghelfi homer in the seventh. He struck out eight batters in 6 2/3 innings pitched.
The BayBears are tied for the league-lead with 12 shutout wins. Five of the 12 shutout victories have been by a 1-0 score.
The BayBears continue the five-game road series against Pensacola Monday at 6:35 p.m. CDT. Right-handed pitcher Matt Ball (1-1, 5.40 ERA) is scheduled to make the start against righty Daniel Wright (6-10, 4.30 ERA) for the Blue Wahoos.
