...victories to his credit, San Francisco's Juan Marichal 18, and Cleveland's Luis Tiant 16. Gibson's record is 14-5, but the last time he lost was May 28. Since June 2, when he beat the New York Mets 6-3, he has pitched 90 innings and allowed just two runs-one of which scored on a wild pitch, the other on a base hit that was fair only by inches.

The only score came in the first inning, when San Francisco's Willie Mays singled, went to second on a muffed pick-off attempt, to third on a wild pitch, and home on a double play. That unearned run gave the National League the game and Mays the Most Valuable Player award...
