"You know what he's going to throw. You know what to expect. And you still can't hit it," Quad Cities skipper <Luke Ball:coach#554> told reporters after the shutout loss. "He just had a real deceptive fastball today and he was throwing it for strikes."
Checking out his stats for the season, Wagner has racked up 5 wins and 8 losses in 17 starts, posted a 3.29 ERA, and struck out 117 batters in 112 innings.
