12 batters as the phenomenal Los Angeles Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 1 to 0. Koufax(20-7) was simply too much for the St. Louis batters. He was stingy on the mound, allowing just 5 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings. Los Angeles had 10 hits for the afternoon. Ray Washburn(6-11) was tagged with the loss. Koufax was pleased with his performance. He noted, 'I had good zip on my pitches. Just as important, my location was right on. The fans really got into the game too - that always helps me. Now, if I can only do that again in my next outing.'
