St. Louis Win Knots Series at 1
Trailing by a game in the Division Round, Win Mercer was ready for his start.

The right-hander turned in a performance for the ages at Sportsman's Park today, pitching a 9-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the St. Louis Browns to victory in Game 2 of the Division Round. Mercer held the Kansas City Athletics to 4 hits and 3 walks, while striking out 3. The win brought St. Louis into a 1-1 tie in the best-of-5 series.

Mercer delivered a quality start for St. Louis. The 5' 7" right-hander allowed no earned runs on 4 hits over 9 innings of work.

"We're one game closer to our goal," St. Louis manager Jeff Patterson said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow at Sportsman's Park. The scheduled starters for the game are Robbie Ray for the Kansas City Athletics and Burleigh Grimes for the the St. Louis Browns.
