 | Friday, July 7th, 1967: Jenkins Twirls Rams to Shutout Win
"My pitching coach told me before the game just to bear down and focus. He said no one was going to hit me if I'm throwing a good breaking ball with good location."
And that's what Fergie Jenkins did as he led the Rams to a 5-0 shutout victory over the Flyers.
"I thought he put the ball where he wanted to," the St. Louis manager said. "And that's just about the whole secret to pitching."
Jenkins yielded 6 hits and had 7 strikeouts and no walks in a standout performance.
In 18 starts this year Jenkins has recorded a 8-6 record and a 3.39 ERA.
