Bob Gibson received credit for the first official save of his major league career when the veteran star pitched 3 2/3 innings of four-hit relief in the Cardinals' 9-4 victory over the Cubs. The Sporting News inaugurated the saves system in 1960 and Gibson received credit for one in a 6-5 victory over the Reds August 27, 1965, but the rule was not officially adopted until the 1969 season.
