Durocher Slams Umps After Cubs Narrow Loss to Dodgers
Chicago manager Leo Durocher criticized umpires even when calls favored his team in a 3-2 defeat to Los Angeles. He argued a homer was missed on Jim Fairey’s hit and faulted umpire Paul Pryor for a third strike call on Adolfo Phillips. Dodgers fans saw the ruling as inconsequential, with Zoilo Versalles later delivering the deciding hit. Durocher noted his birthday ambiguity for Saturday.
