Gooden CG, Docs Still Drop 7th Straight

The Chicago Docs Dwight Gooden pitched another complete game, striking out a season-high 10 batters and allowing just 6 hits. Unfortunately, half of them were homeruns. LA’s Joe Morgan hit a 2-run shot with 2 outs in the 3rd, and Cristóbal Torriente and Eddie Mathews hit back-to-back jacks in the 4th for the Dynamos only runs. LA’s Don Drysdale picked up his 1st win of the season, outdueling Gooden. Drysdale allowed 5 hits and 5 walks in 7 innings, but the Docs could only muster 2 runs. Goose Gossage was shaky in the 9th, walking Pete Rose with 2 outs. Barry Bonds followed with his 3rd hit of the game, a single. But Sammy Sosa flew out to Willie Mays to end the game. Gossage picked up his 4th save. Chicago has now lost 7 straight and fall to 4-11. The Los Angelos Dynamos improve to 7-8.
