#82 is here.

#81  May 26, 1966 33 Innings in Ten Days



May 26 was Juan Marichal's 10th start of the 1966 season.  Here were his first 9:

9 innings
9 innings
9 innings
9 innings
9 innings
5 innings
9 innings

His record?  7-0.  His ERA 0.76

Then came the ten days from May 17-26.

10 innings, 1 earned run
9 innings, 1 earned run

And on May 26 - Juan Marichal beat Jim Bunning and the Phillies, he struck out 10, he walked 1, he didn't give up an earned run.

And he pitched 14 innings.

That's 33 innings in 10 days.

20 strikeouts.  2 walks.  1 run.

Marichal's career dropped dramatically after the age of 31; he left his arm on the Candlestick mound.

#80 is tomorrow.
