Dodgers blank Brewers as Koufax trips Milwaukee
Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers pitched six hits shutout for a 7-0 win over Milwaukee, lifting Los Angeles within one game of NL leader San Francisco. Howie Goss drove in six for the Colts in an 8-7, 10 inning loss at St. Louis. Fred Hatfield, veteran infielder now player-coach for the Denver Bears, earns the nickname Scrap Iron.
