1968 NL Game: Atl. @ Phil. Jarvis Wins 14th

July 28, 1968

 Much of the talk about pitchers in the NL this 1968 season has centered around Bob Gibson, Fergie Jenkins, Don Drysdale, Larry Jackson and a few others. A little lost in the talk has been the performance of Atlanta's Pat Jarvis. Today, Jarvis and Braves took on Larry Jackson and the Philadelphia Phillies. The game proved to be the tight pitching contest expected with Atlanta coming out the victors 2-1. Jarvis went the distance for the Braves, gaining his 14th Win of the season and lowering his ERA to 1.41.
