Marichal Aims for 30 Wins Pace Set by Dizzy Dean
Juan Marichal stretches to reach 30 wins this season, two weeks ahead of Dizzy Dean’s 1934 pace. The San Francisco right-hander pitched a three hitter in a 5-0 win over the Mets for his eighth victory and third shutout in 1966, posting a 0.69 ERA in 78 innings. He credits changing his approach, relying on screwballs and curves rather than his fastball. The 27-year-old Dominican has never lost to the Mets in 15 straight decisions.
