					|   | Mellott, Colt .45's Shut Out Braves, 4-0 Tuesday, September 7th , 2049
 It wasn't easy but the Houston Colt .45's made it look that way.
 
 Starter Jeremy Mellott shut out the Americus Braves despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the Houston Colt .45's cruised to victory, 4-0. Mellott allowed only 6 hits and rang up 7 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.
 
 "It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."
