Sandy Koufax Dominates Yet Falls Short Of No-Hitters
Dodgers star Sandy Koufax extended his bid for back-to-back no-hitters and his 100th win with a 2-1 victory over the Reds as Deron Johnson homered off him. Maury Wills and John Roseboro supplied the decisive sixth inning run, while Koufax struck out five in a performance that fell short of the record 10 strikeouts in a game. Other MLB results included Hank Aaron’s two-run homer for Milwaukee over Houston and Cleveland’s Leon Wagner leading the RBI race with a two-run shot and a key single in a 6-3 win over the Angels.
