Coming to LA for a 4-game series, and having lost their last 4 games against the Dynamos, the Wizards needed a win. They made a dramatic statement, scoring 7 runs in the first 3 innings against Don Drysdale and topping LA 9-2. Starter Steve Carlton allowed 9 hits but only 2 runs in 8 innings. The Wizards had 11 hits and 7 runs against Drysdale in his 7 innings, and another 2 runs on 4 hits against Tom Glavine in relief. St. Louis leadoff man, Oscar Charleston was 4 for 4 with a walk. Willie McCovey went 2 or 3, scoring 3 runs in his first game back from injury. The win extends the Wizards&#8217; lead in the NL back to 3 games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=734\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">St. Louis @ Los Angeles &#8211; 5\/15\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Struggling to start the 2nd half of the season, the St. Louis Wizards held just a 2-game lead over the Los Angeles Dynamos in the National League.
