 | Saturday, August 9th, 1969: Koufax Shuts out Twin Cities
The Toronto manager told reporters after the game, "When he started out, his command wasn't that good, but he's a tough guy. The more pitches he throws, the better his command is."
He was talking about Sandy Koufax, who had just hurled a fine 2-hit shutout over the Twin Cities Trappers. He had 15 strikeouts and 2 walks in the Toronto 3-0 victory.
"An outstanding job," the Twin Cities manager said. "We couldn't get anything going. Every time we got a hit, he got out of the jam. He pitched a terrific game."
In 1968, Koufax has chalked up 9 wins and 10 losses in 23 starts with 153 strikeouts in 165 innings and a 3.22 ERA.
