Sutton Strikes Again
 |
| Player of the Day Don Sutton |
WP: Don Sutton (3-0, 0.00 ERA) / LP: Andy Messersmith (1-1, 3.38 ERA)
As if there was any doubt from his previous two outings, Don Sutton has been dominant. Today he throws another shutout, running his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 27 and proving that a pitcher can change the color of his skin and still be unbeatable. With his 13 strikeouts, Sutton passes Amos Rusie for 32nd on the all-time strikeout list.

Quote of the Day
"When I go to a restaurant, all I hear about is Don Sutton. When I go to the theater, all I hear about is Don Sutton. The bar? Don Sutton. Sports Illustrated and Time wants him on their cover. Hell, even the Black Panthers are trying to recruit him. It has gotten really out of hand." - Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda.
