May Struts Stuff in Win Over Washington
The California Angels shut out the Washington Senators, 5-0, behind the strong pitching of Rudy May. May surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 11.
Following the last out, May appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Washington manager <Ted Williams:coach#23>, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. May's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Senators skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Angels press conference, May confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," May said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," California manager Lefty Phillips added.
Thus far this season, May has tossed 46.2 innings in 6 starts, fanned 44 batters, walked 11 and put up a 1.74 ERA with 4 wins and 2 losses.
