On this date: June 10, 1973
- Wayne Twitchell was the big man for the Phillies on this day, going 3 for 3 at the plate with 2 singles, a double, a run scored and a RBI to help the Phillies to an 11-0 whitewash of the Padres.
- Oh yeah, he pitched a complete game shutout, allowing only 5 hits and a walk while striking out 8.
- Meanwhile, Boots Day hits a 2 out, 2 run single in the bottom of the eighth inning to put the Expos ahead for good, as they beat the Giants 7-6 at Parc Jarry in Montreal.
- The winning pitcher for the Expos was reliever Mike Marshall, who would improve his record to 7-4. Marshall would finish the season with a 14-11 record, appearing in 92 games, all in relief, finishing 73 games and saving 31. Mike would also finish 2nd in Cy Young voting in '73, gaining 9 of the 24 first place votes. Tom Seaver would win the award that season in the NL.
- Robert
