May 26, 1959
Promising LA left hander Sandy Koufax had a very wild outing tonight. Koufax walked 14 batters and struck out 9 as the Dodgers lost to the SF Giants 6-2. He allowed only 4 hits in the 8 innings he pitched, but he was in constant trouble due to the MLB record number of Walks (14) he issued.

The win was credited to Stu Miller(3-1) who went 6 and 1/3 innings allowing no
runs. Sandy Koufax(1-2) was the loser. He struggled with his control issuing
14 walks in 8 innings.
