Warren Spahn blanked Pittsburgh allowing just 2 hits and Roy Campanella lofted
one into the 'cheap seats' and had 3 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates were badly
beaten by the Washington Nationals, 13 to 0.
Spahn(12-7) came through with a virtuoso performance against the Pittsburgh
hitters. He didn't allow much, just 2 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings.
Washington simply wore out the Pittsburgh pitching staff, scoring in 6
different innings.
Early Wynn(10-8) was tagged with the loss. Washington knocked him around a
bit, as he gave up 7 runs in 6 innings. When questioned about his
counterpart after the game, Wynn was lavish in his praise, 'It was obvious
very early on that we were going to be in for a long night. Spahn brought
his 'A' game with him - he had good stuff and was able to spot it perfectly.
He probably only made one or two bad pitches the entire game!
