On September 12, 1965, a New York Mets pitcher named Dick Selma took the mound for only his second big league game. After defeating the St. Louis Cardinals more than a week earlier down in Missouri, Selma returned to New York where he put together a historic start.
This time, up against the Milwaukee Braves, Selma went more than the distance for his second big league win. He lasted all 10 innings of the game, striking out 13 in the process.
Selma’s final line included only four hits allowed and a single walk.
