Monclova, Mexico – How do you follow a 2-hit shutout?

If you’re Monclova Aqua Sox pitcher Romeau Tameiro, you toss a 3-hit shutout, thank you very much.

Romeu Tameiro

Tameiro threw 9 innings against the Bismarck Pioneers (Mexico City) on Aug. 1, allowing one double and 2 singles while walking 3 and striking out 5 en route to a 5-0 home victory.

In his last outing, Tameiro shut down the Berkeley Golden Bears in similar fashion, allowing one double and a single while allowing no walks and striking out 8.

“I could get used to this,” said Tameiro with a laugh after the game.

Franchise officials in Chicago hope he does.

“Romeu is closing out his season with a lot of good baseball,” said Chicago Black Sox GM Vic Caleca. “Next season, we’ll see how he does at Grand Junction against a little bit tougher competition. After that, the sky’s the limit!”

Tameiro is now 4-8 on the season with an ERA of 3.83, 59 strikeouts, 19 walks, and 1.8 WAR.

The Aqua Sox have just 5 games left in their season, but Tameiro is scheduled for one final start on Aug. 6 at Chestermere.

If trends hold, go ahead and pencil him in for a 4-hit shutout.

Kind of an interesting arm. Maybe best suited to relief but one to watch,
