Rivas Sets Single-Season Wins Record

August 26, 2009 - Florida State League (FSL1)
Brevard County Manatees News Release


(Viera, FL) With a dominating performance Tuesday night, Amaury Rivas picked up his 13th win of the season, setting a new single-season Brevard County Manatees record. Clemente Nunez (1995), Joe Sergent (2001), and Tim Dillard (2005) were the previous holders of the record. Each won 12 games for the Manatees in their respective season.

Rivas shut down Clearwater on Tuesday, allowing just one run on four hits in six innings to lead Brevard County to a 2-1 win. He improved to 13-6 on the season with a 2.74 ERA. In his last ten starts dating back to July 2, Rivas is 9-1 with a 1.78 ERA. Rivas' outstanding second half has him tied with Charlotte's Jeremy Hall for the FSL lead in wins with 13. He is also third in the league with 120 strikeouts.

Rivas has helped lead the Brevard County pitching staff, which has been the best in the league in 2009. The Manatees lead the FSL in ERA (2.75), strikeouts (925), saves (42), shutouts (17), and fewest hits allowed (811).

Rivas will likely get his next chance to extend the record Sunday at Tampa. If the Manatee rotation stays on schedule, he is likely to make two more starts in the regular season.
