Gould Tames Drillers, 4-0 Wednesday, August 26th , 1964 The Toronto Hurons shut out the Houston Drillers 4-0 today behind the strong pitching of Vern Gould. Gould surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 7. Following the last out, Gould appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Houston manager Steven Palps, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Gould's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Drillers skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Hurons press conference, Gould confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Gould said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Toronto manager Jim Burns added. Thus far this season Gould has posted a 7-8 record, started 23 games, struck out 82 batters in 158.1 innings and compiled a 4.09 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
