| Breaking News |  | Monday, April 19th, 1965: Blass Spins Shutout
Steve Blass of the Chicago Cubs was on top of his game today. He tantalized the St. Louis Cardinals with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 4-0 shutout.
In the postgame comments, the St. Louis skipper said, "He had the changeup working. You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."
The Chicago hurler had 1 strikeout, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 1 hit in his complete-game effort.
Blass told reporters after the game, "To be successful in this league, you have to keep the ball down. If you don't, they'll make you pay."
