Dwight Gooden took a no-hitter into the 7th, and the Chicago Docs scored 7 runs in the 2nd inning as they topped the Houston Hoots 11-3 to win their 2nd straight. Houston’s Burleigh Grimes allowed 6 hits and walked 2 in the 2nd inning, capped by Albert Pujols 3-run double. Pujols finished 3 for 5 with 2 runs and 3 RBI. Bobby Bonds was also 3 for 5. Two of those hits were triples. Houston was hitless until Ryne Sandberg hit a double in the gap in the 7th inning, ruining Gooden’s no-hitter and his shutout, driving in Duke Snider who had walked to lead off the inning. Gooden allowed 3 hits and 3 runs, 2 of them earned, while striking out 8 in 8 innings. Houston dropped to 18-23 with the loss, as Chicago improved to 13-28.
