1969 Strat Replay

The Los Angeles Dodgers sent down 26 year old pitcher Bobby Darwin and recalled 26 year old pitcher John Purdin.

Darwin was 0-0 with a 17.18 ERA in 3 2/3 innings pitched. The Dodgers are thinking about moving him to the outfield in the minor leagues because he has a very good bat and has been unsuccessful in two stints at the major league level.








Purdin, a three year Dodger veteran, was up briefly earlier in the year. He pitched one inning not giving up a run and will be reinstated to the Dodger bullpen.
