Drysdale puzzled by rough Cubs outing in loss
Don Drysdale, Dodgers ace with 86 strikeouts in 88 2 3 innings, gave up 16 hits as Chicago Cubs jumped early with five runs. The right hander noted his foot, hit last week, was not to blame. Dodgers manager Wall Iston blamed shaky defense and timing as Los Angeles scored 29 runs in three games but won only one.
