18th Win For Sandy Koufax Sparks Dodgers Rally

Dodgers rout Houston 12 1 to back Sandy Koufax to his 18th win of the season though he left after six innings to rest his arthritic arm. The lefty improved to 18 5 with an ERA of 1.63 as Los Angeles built a 12 run offensive burst behind an 18 hit attack and a three inning two hit relief stint by Bob Miller. Cincinnati shaded Pittsburgh 4 3 and Chicago beat San Francisco 4 3 in 10 innings while Atlanta toppled Philadelphia 9 2 and St. Louis defeated New York 7 1. Koufax’s next start targets the Braves.

Skinner Ends Hall of Fame Career After 12 Seasons

New York reporters note Bob Skinner of the St. Louis Cardinals will retire in about eight weeks. The 34-year-old veteran, once a .321 hitter for Pittsburgh and a 20-homer threat, has spent the season as a pinch hitter and declares his reflexes and family considerations led to the decision. Skinner, known for quiet workmanlike manner and the Dog nickname from Pittsburgh fans, says Red Schoendienst supports the move and that he bears no hard feelings toward teammates.

Doc nickname follows Skinner through Cardinals season

Skinner, once used sparingly by the Cardinals, now sits on the bench while Schoendienst jokes him into action. He still riffs at the plate and remains favored by pitchers for his curve. After a final cigarette puff, he leaves the clubhouse with his glove, a habit he can’t quit.
