On June 30, 1962 At Dodger Stadium, With the aid of 13 strikeouts and a Frank Howard home run, 26 year old Sandy Koufax no-hits Bob Miller and the Mets, 5 – 0 in Los Angeles. Sandy starts off the game by fanning the side on nine pitches in the 1st inning, Richie Ashburn, Rod Kanehl, and Felix Mantilla, to complete an immaculate inning. He is the first National League pitcher to strike out the side on nine pitches since Brooklyn’s Dazzy Vance, in 1924 and the first Dodger southpaw to throw a no-hitter since Nap Rucker accomplished the feat in 1908.
