This Day In Dodgers History: Sandy Koufax Throws No-Hitter Against Giants

On May 11, 1963, Los Angeles Dodgers legendary pitcher Sandy Koufax tossed his second of four career no-hitters. His performance helped lead the Dodgers to an 8-0 win over the division-rival San Francisco Giants.

Koufax struck out four and walked two in the historic game, getting seven groundball outs and the other 15 coming through the air. The 1963 season was a special one for Koufax and perhaps the best in his 12-year career with the Dodgers.

He went 25-5 with a 1.88 ERA, 1.85 FIP and 0.88 WHIP in 40 starts. He struck out 306 batters compared to 58 walks in 311 innings while throwing 20 complete games, 11 of them being shutouts.
