Zero Hour: Paxton Blanks Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox had no answer today for Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher James Paxton. They failed to score a single run against him, losing 3-0. Boston managed only 7 hits off Paxton, who had 7 strikeouts.

The extraordinarily popular Paxton got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.

"Pirates fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."

This season James Paxton has made no relief appearances, saving 0. His record is 15-3 with 166 strikeouts in 196.1 innings and a 1.79 ERA.
