Perry's fork ball fuels San Francisco win over Padres
Gaylord Perry sped to his second win of the young season with a 5-0 victory over San Diego, aided by a new fork ball. Catcher Dick Dietz said the pitch was Perry's best Monday as he fanned 11 in a three-hitter, mixing fork, fastball, and slider to dismantle the Padres. The Giants scored five runs in the second inning, with Al Gallagher driving in two on a homer, and Willie McCovey and Dietz adding RBIs as Clay Kirby took the loss. The two teams meet again as Steve Stone goes for the Giants in the nightcap.
