Mets team, which in this, it's first year in the National League, would set an all- time record for futility by losing 1. A crowd of 2. 9,7. Koufax took the mound. Ironically, slightly more than seven weeks earlier, Bo Belinsky of the Los Angeles Angels had hurled the city's first major league no- hitter in the very same stadium. Koufax wasn't as sharp as he would be in later no- hitters, walking five and narrowly escaping trouble several times.
But he struck out 1. After retiring the side in order in the first, Koufax had a scare when Frank Thomas, leading off the second, slashed a sharp grounder toward the hole between third and short. Shortstop Maury Wills raced to his right, made an extraordinary backhanded stop and threw to first to barely beat the slow- footed Thomas. The Dodgers had spotted Koufax a 4- 0 lead in the first with the help of a triple by Willie Davis, singles by Tommy Davis and Frank Howard surrounding a walk, John Roseboro's two- run double and a single by Larry Burright. Howard added a home run in the seventh.
In the sixth, Koufax had another close call with two- time National League batting champ Richie Ashburn at the plate. Ashburn sliced a line drive to left where Tommy Davis momentarily lose the ball in the glare of the lights. But Davis recovered in tim to make a splendid running catch. Koufax, who had walked Ashburn and Felix Mantilla in the early innings with neither advancing to second base, walked one batter in each of the last three innings. He passed Thomas in the seventh and Elio Chacon in the eighth, but neither moved up. In the ninth, Koufax walked lefthanded Gene Woodling, a surprised choice as a pinch- hitter, to start the inning. With Joe Christopher inserted as a pinch- runner, the even- dangerous Ashburn sliced a 1- 1 pitch down the left field line that just curved foul at the last moment.
He then banged a grounder to Wills, who flipped to second baseman Larry Burright for a force out on Christopher. That brought up Rod Kanehl, who hit a two- strike bouncer to third where Jim Gilliam fielded it and threw to second for a force out on Ashburn. The final out came a moment later when Mantilla pounded a high hopper on a 2- 1 pitch to Wills. The shortstop backed up, gloved the ball on the second bounce high above his head, and fired to Burright to foce the speedy Kanehl for the final out. Koufax had his first of his then- record four no- hitters.
Idled later in the season by a circulation problem in his left index finger, he finished the year with a 1. Sandy Koufax No Hitter #2 Ticket . May 1. 1, 1. 96. 3. The 1. 96. 3 season was the first of four consecutive brilliant campaigns put together by Sandy Koufax. That season, he became a 2.
Leading up to the end of his career in 1. Koufax would win 9. Because of a circulatory problem discovered in his left index finger the previous year, Koufax had begun the 1. But the hard- throwing, 2. Saturday May 1. 1 game at Dodger Stadium against the first place San Francisco Giants. The defending National League champions fielded a lineup that featured heavy hitters such as 1. NL home run king Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Felipe Alou and Harvey Kuenn.
They also sent future Hall of Famer Juan Marichal to the mound to face Koufax and the fifth place Dodgers with a huge crowd of 4. Koufax answered by retiring the first 2. The Giants finally broke the spell when Ed Bailey walked with one out in the eighth after Cepeda had hit a hard shot to the mound that Koufax deflected to second baseman Nate Oliver, who nipped the batter at first by a step. But Bailey was quickly erased on Jim Davenport's double play grounder to shortstop Dick Tracewski.
Before that, Koufax had had only a few anxious moments. One came in the fifth, when Cepeda tapped a slow roller to Tracewski, who moved in, fielded the ball barehanded, and made the play to first. In the seventh, Alou, the league's batting leader, pounded a high fly to deep left. Tommy Davis, who had just moved from third to left field, raced into the corner and made a backhanded catch leaning against the box seat railing at the 3. Mays followed with a screaming liner to third, which Jim Gilliam grabbed for the third out of the inning. Koufax retired Joe Amalfitano on a pop- up leading off the ninth. Jose Pagan was up next, and he slashed a line drive to deep center that Willie Davis hauled down near the wall.
That brought up Willie Mc. Covey, destined to become the league's home run champ that season, as a pinch- hitter.
Pitching too carefully, Koufax walked Mc. Covey on four pitches. Now Koufax had to face Kuenn, a . American League batting championship in 1. Koufax fired a strike. On the next pitch, Kuenn hit an easy bouncer back to the mound.
Koufax grabbed the ball, and threw to Ron Fairly at first for the final out and the second no- hitter of the lefthander's career. The Dodgers gave Koufax plenty of offensive support. They scored in the second on Wally Moon's solo homer to right, and three times in the sixth on an RBI single by Moon and a two- run single by John Roseboro that drove Marichal to the showers. Fairly's three- run double high lighted a four- run eighth for the Dodgers. Koufax finished with just four strikeouts. He walked two. With Koufax leading the way on the mound, the Dodgers went on to capture the National League pennant and sweep the New York Yankees in the World Series. Koufax won two of the four games.
In 1. 96. 3, Sandy Koufax led the National League in wins (2. ERA (1. 8. 8), and threw eleven shutouts, setting a new record for shutouts by a left- handed pitcher that is still in the Shutouts Record Book (the previous record was held by Carl Hubbell who had ten shutouts in 1.
