09/17/1974 - Montefusco Twirls Shutout

John Montefusco of the San Francisco Giants was right on target as he blanked the Atlanta Braves 5-0, yielding 3 hits and totaling 10 strikeouts and 1 walk.

"I had everything working today and I got some help from my defense, too," Montefusco said, speaking to BNN reporters after the game. "They saved my butt a few times."

In 34 starts this season Montefusco has notched a 13-10 record and a 2.63 ERA.

Kingman homered late off RHP Buzz Capra to seal the deal for Montefusco. It was his 100th career home run.
