June 10, 1960, Cincinnati Reds catcher Dutch Dotterer hit a grand slam home run off Koufax in the top of the 2nd inning, at the LA Coliseum, scoring Lee Walls, Willie Jones and Gus Bell, to give the Reds a 4-0 lead. After walking the next batter, opposing pitcher Bob Purkey, Ed Palmquist replaced Koufax. The Dodgers lost 4-3, Purkey was credited with the win, to raise his record to 5-2, while Koufax's W-L record fell to 1-8.
