Koufax Continues Dominance, LA Wins 6th Straight

Sandy Koufax continued his league dominance, especially his owning of Chicago, hurling a 2-hit shutout to lead the Los Angeles Dynamos to their 6th straight win. It was Koufax’s 3rd shutout of the season. His last 2-hitter was also against the Docs at Wrigley Field. Meanwhile, Los Angeles was efficient, scoring 5 runs on just 5 hits. Chicago starter Jerry Koosman allowed 3 runs on just 4 hits, one of them a solo homer to Johnny Bench, but picked up his 7th loss of the season. Reliever Roy Oswalt allowed a 2-run homer to Willie Mays in the 8th. Koufax struck out a season-high 9 en route to his league-leading 7th win. The win moved LA to within 2 1/2 games of St. Louis. Chicago fell to 11-24 with the loss. They’ll have a chance tomorrow to avoid the sweep.
