[TD]Dodger rookie hurler Tommy Lasorda, making his first major league appearance, ties a record by throwing three wild pitches in the first inning of a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals. The future Dodgers' Hall of Fame skipper, who will compile a lifetime record of 0-4, will not get a decision in his debut, which will also include being spiked by Redbird Wally Moon covering a play at home plate.[/TD]
