Singer Throws Two-Hitter For Dodgers Victory
Los Angeles pitcher Bill Singer limited the Chicago Cubs to two hits in a 5-0 win, his 14th of 1969, after nearly three complete games since the All-Star break. He fanned Ferguson Jenkins and carried a no-hitter into the sixth, as Chicago’s only other hit came from Don Kessinger. The win kept L A two games behind Cincinnati in the NL West as New York’s split with Atlanta altered the East race. Other NL results included Cincinnati beating Philadelphia 12-5 and St Louis 4-3 over San Francisco. In AL action Baltimore topped Minnesota 6-5 and Detroit swept a doubleheader from Chicago.
