Did you know that this was the first American League combined pitcher no-hit game to take place on the road?

Blue Moon Odom was wild, issuing nine base on balls in five innings, and had been in the minors for control problems until his call-up on the 9th of July. Following this start, Odom did not start another game during his major league career!

On October 18, 1972, Blue Moon Odom tied the World Series record for most strikeouts in a losing game. Check how many he had that historic day!
