LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Los Angeles Dodgers will honor the 40th anniversary of Fernandomania before today s game against the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium.  
Fernando Valenzuela ignited what would be dubbed “Fernandomania when he went 8-0 with five shutouts, seven complete games and an 0.50 ERA in his first eight starts as a 20-year-old rookie in 1981, baffling hitters with his screwball, becoming the only player to win the Cy Young and Rookie of the Year awards in the same season and leading the National League in strikeouts.

Worst All-Time Twins Tournament, Ricky Nolasco Round, Day 5: Aces in spades


‘81 in his five-plus innings of work, he was no match for Camilo Pascual.
Pascual allowed just five hits over seven innings as he and Bud Byerly combined to shut out
‘81 5-0 and send them into the finals.
While Pascual kept his shutout going, Havens lost his in the sixth. Until that inning, he had allowed only four hits and walked three.
But Pete Runnels opened the sixth with a second-pitch single, Jim Lemon’s subsequent double putting men on second and third with nobody out. Havens worked Courtney to a 1-2 count before he singled in Runnels, and Lou Berberet singled home Lemon on the next pitch. ....
