Robin Roberts Tops 28 Wins Pace in Early Season
Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies sits well ahead of his 1952 pace after a 2-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The 28 year old righthander allowed three singles, faced 30 batters, struck out nine, and earned his ninth victory against four defeats. He seeks a sixth straight 20 win season, though a 30 win year seems unlikely without pennant contention.
