Fergie Jenkins was on the mound for the boys in blue, and he was in the zone. Fergie struck out every batter in the Phillies starting lineup except their lead off man, Larry Bowa, and the Cubs won 3-0.
His final line for the game...9IP, 4H, 0ER, 0BB, and 12Ks.
Fergie went on to pitch 325 innings in 1971, going 24-13, with a 2.77 ERA, but maybe his most incredible stat that year is this: He struck out 263 batters and walked only 37.
And yes, he won the Cy Young Award.
