On September 9, 1965, the second-place Dodgers were playing at home against the eighth-place Chicago Cubs. Bob Hendley, the starting pitcher for the Cubs, was just up from the minor leagues and had a 2–2 record while Koufax, the starting pitcher for the Dodgers, had a record of 21–7 but had not won a game in three weeks.
But he is perhaps best remembered for his match-ups against Baseball Hall of Fame left-hander Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers for two classic pitchers' duels while Hendley was a member of the 1965 Cubs. On September 9 at Dodger Stadium, Hendley allowed only one hit, but Koufax threw a perfect game and defeated Hendley, 1–0.
Koufax did not receive any run support either; Baltimore's 20-year-old future Hall of Famer Jim Palmer pitched a four-hit shutout, and the Orioles won 6–0. [135] Alston lifted Koufax at the end of the sixth inning with the idea of getting him extra rest before a potential fifth game. Instead, the Dodgers were swept in four games.
