Hal Woodeshick and Dick Farrell combine for Houston’s first shutout, 2-0 over the Cubs

1962 – Hal Woodeshick and Dick Farrell combine for Houston’s first shutout, 2-0 over the Cubs.  Hal Smith’s first-inning single plated the game’s only runs.  This game also featured the franchise’s first rain delay – one hour and seven minutes.

Don Leppert, who went deep on the first pitch he saw in the major leagues playing for Pittsburgh, hits three homers in the Senators’ 8-0 victory over Boston at D.C. Stadium. The catcher’s solo shot in the fourth inning, three-run blast two frames later, and bases-empty blast in the eighth will account for twenty percent of his four-year career total of 15 round-trippers.
