Bunning Belts Five K’s as Phillies Split Doubleheader
Memorial Day at San Diego Stadium saw veteran pitcher Jim Bunning strike out five and move into second on the all time list with 2,823 career K’s. He surpassed Cy Young’s 2,819 mark, tying and then breaking the record in the first inning. The Phillies won 3-1, but San Diego won the nightcap 6-3. Bunning, 39, noted not being an overpowering ace and recalled his toughest strikeout of Nellie Fox. The day featured other NL results as Blass blanked Chicago, Dierker led Houston, and Mays sparked San Francisco’s 11 inning win over New York.
