Moyer Becomes Oldest Pitcher To Win MLB Game
Jul 4, 2014 7:44 PM
Jamie Moyer showed there remains a place for a vintage lefty as the 49-year-old became the oldest pitcher to ever win a major league game.
He threw seven strong innings and Dexter Fowler hit a two-run homer to help the Rockies beat the Padres 5-3 on Tuesday night.
"It's a great night for the Rockies, as far as winning a baseball game. But it's an historic night for one tremendous human being," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "It couldn't happen to a better guy. A more professional person I don't know I've been around."
Moyer was sharp all evening as he picked up his 268th career win, tying him with Jim Palmer for 34th on the career list.
