My '64 Mets went 9-5 in April. For some reason, I thought to bring up Stottlemyer later and work on a 4-man rotation. But when Ray Culp couldn't last more than 2 innings after 4 days rest, I brought up Mel. In his first game against the Cubs, he pitched a 4-hit complete game shutout and struck out 10, achieving a game score of 88. The kid is ready.
In other pitching news, Dick Calmus went 4-4 in save opportunities.
Frank Robinson has started the year on fire, winning Player of the Month for the NL, hitting 6 homers while batting .333, driving in 18 and scoring 10.
