Niekro allowed a run on 3 singles in the 1st inning, but just 2 singles after that. Arky Vaughan hit a leadoff homerun off the Docs&#8217; Jerry Koosman to start the game, but it was the 3rd inning that really doomed Kooz. Jeff Bagwell hit a 3-run shot with 2 outs, and Mike Schmidt followed with another to put the Hoots up 5-1. In the end, every Houston hitter had at least one hit. Koosman picked up his Maelstrom-leading 5th loss as the Docs dropped to 9-17. Houston improved to 10-16. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=675-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Houston @ Chicago &#8211; 4\/28\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil Niekro was in total control of his knuckleball, leading the Houston Hoots over the Chicago Docs 7-1 at Wrigley Field in a game that had postponed Tuesday due to rain.
