Jerry Koosman Hurls Seventh Shutout of Season
The National League East champs open their final road trip of the season at Philadelphia. Making his 31st start of the season, Jerry Koosman wins his fifth straight decision, and tosses his third shutout in his last four starts. He allows just four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in a complete game whitewashing of the Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium. Its his seventh shutout of the season. Jerry Koosman improves to 17-9 with a 2.21 RA.
The Mets inflict all their damage against Phillies starter Woodie Fryman who allows five runs, four earned, on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts through five innings pitched. In the first inning Donn Clendenon hits his third home run in his last two games giving the Mets an instant 2-0 lead. Duffy Dyer doubles and comes around to score in the second. In the fifth Amos Otis and Bobby Pfeil each drive in a run apiece en route to a 5-0 Mets victory.
It's the Mets sixth straight win and their 97th of the season. Four games remain on the schedule.
- Mets Record: 97-61
- N.L. East: 7 Games Up
