This Day In Dodgers History: Sandy Koufax Throws No-Hitter Against Phillies

On June 4, 1964, Los Angeles Dodgers Hall-of-Fame left-hander Sandy Koufax tossed his third of four career no-hitters. This one, against the Philadelphia Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium.

Koufax was dominant early on, striking out Johnny Callison and Dick Allen to end the first inning. It wasn’t until the fourth, however, in which he allowed his first and only baserunner — a walk to Phillies third baseman Allen.

Allen drew a two-out, full-count walk on a questionable call that could’ve gone either way. But it was all for naught, as Allen was later erased from the basepaths after he was caught stealing to end the frame.
