| Koosman blanks Bucs, 1-0 as Mets sweep second twinbill in three days |
The Mets play their second doubleheader in three days
against Pittsburgh. New York received its third straight CG shutout, this
pitching gem came from the left arm of Jerry Koosman, who hurled a 1-0 blanking
of the Pirates. He scattered 3 hits, while striking out 4 in his 14th
win of the season. To top it off, Koosman also drove in the game’s only run
with a 5th inning single, scoring Bobby Pfeil.
In the nightcap, they completed the sweep with another 1-0
win. Don Cardwell, with a save from Tug McGraw, continued the Mets streak of
shuouts-now at four games and 46 innings. This was the second straight game
where the pitcher drove in the only run. Cardwell’s RBI single scored Buddy
Harrelson, who had doubled, from second.
New York (87-57) ran its winning streak to nine games and
was now up by 2.5 over Chicago (85-60).
