		| 15-K Game for Blue Jays Tanaka |  
		| Takehide Tanaka of the Bluefield Blue Jays put on a pitching clinic today at Bowen Field as he struck out 15 Elizabethton Twins in a 19-1 victory. Tanaka, who is tied for 9th in the AL with a 12.9 K/9 rate, was simply magnificent as he held the Twins to 3 hits. He walked 0. 
 "I felt okay at the beginning," Tanaka said, "but eventually my fastball really started working. I also have to thank my catcher for calling a great game."
 
 When asked about Tanaka's performance, Blue Jays manager Max Meany shook his head and said, "Yeah, he was good out there today. He was dominating."
 
 This year in 12 starts, Tanaka has recorded 7 wins and absorbed 1 loss. He has pitched 74.2 innings, allowed 69 hits, struck out 107 and has a 5.79 ERA.
