Steve Carlton 1972 Philadelphia Phillies

May 13, 1972. vs. Los Angeles Dodgers at Veterans Stadium

Philadelphia 3 Los Angeles 2

WP- Steve Carlton (5-1) LP- Claude Osteen

Steve Carlton started slow but bounced back to retire the last twenty batters he faced, as Philadelphia edged the L.A. Dodgers, 3-2. It was a nice comeback win for the Phillies, who were demolished by the Giants in Carlton’s last start. This time around, he had a complete game, three hitter.
