Did Ya Know 🧐 :


Robinson Pina was nearly unhittable in his game-one complete-game shutout on Saturday night. Pina pitched seven innings, allowed two hits, no runs, zero walks and struck out six Senators hitters. Pina’s complete game was the first seven-inning complete game by a Fightin Phils’ pitcher since Ranger Suarez did it on June 19, 2018, at Portland. It was the first complete game of any sorts for Reading since Tyler Viza on September 1, 2018, at Trenton. It was also the first seven-inning shutout tossed by a Reading pitcher since Pete Zamora’s perfect game on June 7, 2000, which was the only perfect game in Reading history. Pina’s seven-inning shutout came 24 years and one-day later. Additionally, Pina threw the first two-hitter by a Reading pitcher since JC Ramirez did it on July 7, 2011, at Bowie. Pina’s seven innings pitched is the most in a game by a Fightin Phils’ pitcher since Matt Osterberg went seven frames at Binhamton on September 14, 2022. It was also the second-shutout of the season thrown by the Fightin Phils, and first since April 25, against Somerset.
