A generous Mel Stottlemyre hands out 11 walks to Washington in 8 1/3 innings, but the Senators are unable to score. Steve Hamilton gets the last two outs to preserve the 2 – 0 win. The 11 walks in a shutout ties Lefty Gomez, who did complete his 1941 shutout. Danny Cater’s two-run homer in the 5th accounts for the scoring off Dick Such, making his first major league start.
