On May 11, 1963, Los Angeles Dodgers legendary pitcher Sandy Koufax tossed his second of four career no-hitters. His performance helped lead the Dodgers to an 8-0 win over the division-rival San Francisco Giants.
Koufax struck out four and walked two in the historic game, getting seven groundball outs and the other 15 coming through the air. Koufax’s four strikeouts were the lowest total in any of his four career no-hitters.
He had a perfect game until walking Ed Bailey with one out in the eighth inning. Although L.A. went on for a comfortable victory, they held just a 1-0 lead until the bottom of the eighth.
