Siebert Pitches First No-Hitter Of 1966 Season For Indians
Sonny Siebert held the Washington Senators to no runs for Cleveland in a 2-0 win, the Indians’ first no-hitter of 1966 and the club’s first since 1951. The pitcher credited a subtle grip adjustment as key, striking out seven in seven innings of no-hit work. Siebert, 29, improved to 5-2 in seven decisions and noted he stuck with fastballs late to preserve the gem.
