| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, October 6th, 1964: Los Angeles Draws Blanks Against Gibson
Before the game Bob Gibson liked his chances and his instincts proved to be right. In a superb outing the Keystones pitcher whitewashed the Los Angeles Bums 7-0.
Gibson said in the clubhouse afterward, "I just had a feeling it was going to be my day. My control was awesome. I could throw my curveball even when I was behind in the count."
The Philadelphia starter held Los Angeles scoreless, giving up 4 hits while registering 3 strikeouts and issuing 1 walk.
"We didn't have very many good at-bats," the Bums manager said in his postgame interview.
"When that happens, you usually lose."
On his stats sheet this season Gibson shows a 20-11 record, 35 starts, 280.1 innings, 163 strikeouts and a 3.27 ERA. |
