Perry’s breakout season came in 1966 when he went 20-2 through August. Perry and Marichal became known as a “1-2 punch” to rival the famous Koufax/Drysdale combination of the Los Angeles Dodgers. While Marichal was named NL Player of the Month in May, Perry was named so in June (5–0, 0.90 ERA, 31 SO). He appeared in his first All-Star game, but he struggled the rest of the season, finishing 21-8 and the Giants finishing second to the Dodgers. Marichal was sidelined for most of the 1967 season due to a leg injury, so Perry was thrust into the role of team ace. While he finished with a 15-17 record, he had a low ERA and only allowed seven hits per nine innings pitched.
