The Gas House Gang

June 24, 1967 at Busch Stadium
Cardinals 2, Phillies 1  (42-22)

The Cardinals continued their torrid pace in June with their seventh straight win.  Bob Gibson picked up the win in this one in a nice outing.  He gave up just one run on six hits and three walks with eight strikeouts in a complete game.  The win pushed Gibson’s record to 9-5 on the season.

The Cardinals managed just four hits but they made them count and two of those hits came in the second inning.  The big hit was a two run single by Julian Javier to give the Cardinals the two runs they needed to win this one.
