Reuschel(20-7) was virtually untouchable. He allowed only 1 hit and 1 walk in 9 innings. The right-handed Reuschel lost his chance for a no-hitter when Wally Backman singled with two outs in the 6th inning. Both teams' bats went to sleep after the 4th inning with no runs scored after that point.
Ed Lynch(20-9) was the losing pitcher.
