Sandy Dandy in 2nd Straight Shutout

Chicago Docs starter Rick Reuschel allowed 3 early runs before settling down against the Los Angeles Dynamos. The real story was the dominating game by Sandy Koufax. Koufax hurled a 2-hit shutout, striking out 8. It was the 2nd straight shutout for the lefty ace. Reuschel allowed just 3 runs, 2 of them earned, in 7 innings of work for the Docs. Docs reliever Roy Oswalt had a rough outing, allowing 6 runs and 3 homers before being pulled. Two of those homers came from Eddie Mathews. LA topped Chicago 9-0 with 16 hits. Joe Morgan and Johnny Mize both went 4 for 5. The Dynamos improved to 11-11 with the win, their 3rd straight, while Chicago fell to a league-worst 7-15 with their 4th straight loss.
