September 14, 1969, Los Angeles: Dodgers 3, Padres 1 (box score)
Let’s get the one Padre highlight out of the way. Ollie Brown knocked a solo homer with two out in the ninth to ruin Don Sutton’s shutout bid.
Sutton was in complete control all game. He went the distance, scattering three singles in addition to Brown’s home run, and striking out nine.
The Dodgers scored one run in the second and two more in the fourth. Jim Lefebvre drove in all three runs on a double and a two-run homer off Clay Kirby, who took the loss and saw his record fall to 5-19.
