About Doug Rau
The Dodgers beat Pittsburgh 3-1 in the 1974 NLCS, and Rau pitched two-thirds of an inning and took the loss. In the regular season he made 35 starts in 36 games. He went 13-11 with a 3.72 ERA and 126 strikeouts over 198 1/3 innings. Card #64 lists him with Los Angeles.
Doug Rau was a left-handed starter who spent nearly all of his big-league career with the Los Angeles Dodgers. A Texas A&M product, he was the Dodgers' first-round pick in the secondary phase of the June 1970 draft and reached Los Angeles in September 1972. He moved into the rotation in 1974, and the club took National League pennants in 1974, 1977 and 1978. His 2.57 ERA in 1976 ranked second in the league. Rotator cuff trouble ended his 1979 season early and led to surgery. He was out of the majors in 1980, made three starts for the California Angels in 1981 and pitched his last game on May 26 of that year. He finished 81-60 with a 3.35 ERA in 222 games.
