June 28, 1969, San Diego: Dodgers 19, Padres 0 (box score)

On May 13, at Wrigley Field, the Padres had lost to the Cubs, 19-0. Six weeks later, back at home, the club from San Diego duplicated the feat against the Dodgers.

Steve Arlin and Don Drysdale hooked up in this one, and the game was over by the third inning. In the top half, the Dodgers sent 15 men to the plate against three pitchers — Arlin, Tommie Sisk (who failed to retire any of the six batters he faced), and Gary Ross. By the time the dust had cleared, Los Angeles had scored 10 runs on six singles, five walks, and three wild pitches.

The Dodgers finished with 17 hits and 12 walks. Every player in the starting lineup reached base at least twice, and seven men (including Drysdale) drove in two runs. Meanwhile, on the mound, Drysdale allowed five hits, two walks, and a whole lot of nothing.

Trivia: This was the last of Drysdale’s 49 career shutouts and penultimate big-league victory.
