Mavericks Canales Earns 100th Win Thursday, September 11th , 2025 What would you do after you had just won your 100th game? Run around Mavericks Ballpark doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Leo Canales -- that's not his way. After he notched number 100, the 34-year-old Houston hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Canales commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help." Canales got his milestone victory by beating the Los Angeles Knights 5-1. He held them to 1 hit in 6 innings and rung up 5 strikeouts with 6 walks. After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #100. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Canales's face broke into a big smile. So far in his career, Canales has collected 100 wins and 79 losses and has recorded an ERA of 3.76 and struck out 1761 batters while pitching 1783 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log |
