Best K games against Cardinals at Dodger Stadium – The Lefties own it

Phil Gurnee ♦ May 23, 2017 ♦ 1 Comment

This isn’t a surprise, to be honest I expect Kershaw and Koufax to be at the top of this list every time. Which is why it was refreshing to see Nomo and Fernando hit the top now and then to change things up.

This list really is a who’s who of LAD pitching mountaintop. Good to see Burt Hooton show up.
Some notes:

• Koufax has five of the fourteen double digit K games
• Kershaw has three of the fourteen, giving the lefties, eight of the fourteen
• No one else has more than one game
• Sutton, Nomo, Billingsley, Valdez, Grienke, and Nomo round it out
