 | Saturday, July 7th, 1962: St. Louis No Match for Friend
Bob Friend was downright nasty in pitching a 6-0 shutout against St. Louis. His splitter was diving, his slider was breaking and the Flyers were swinging and looking bad. In the solid 4-hit shutout the Empire Builders hurler chalked up 3 strikeouts and 1 walk in a strong outing.
"As the game went on, he got stronger," his manager said. "I thought he really turned it up a notch in the eighth and ninth and probably threw his best breaking balls in those two innings. They put a lot of balls in play early in the count because he was throwing strikes."
In 20 starts this year Friend has crafted a 8-11 record and a 3.83 ERA.
