Spiders Lose Nieves for Season
Saturday, July 12th, 1997
Juan Nieves of the Spiders just might have to call it quits for the season. The 32-year-old Cleveland starting pitcher received a possible season-ending injury against the Florida Marlins recently at League Park. Nieves suffered a torn back muscle while throwing a pitch. The Spiders medical staff said he could be out quite some time, as much as 4 months.
This year Nieves has made 19 starts, thrown 126.2 innings, fanned 123 batters and walked 60. His won-lost record is 7-5 with a 4.76 ERA.
