Stan Musial got the St. Louis Wizards on the board early, hitting a 2-run homer off Don Sutton in the 1st inning. It was Musial&#8217;s Maelstrom leading 13th home run. Hubbell allowed 2 hits and 3 runs in the bottom of the 1st. After a 3rd strike got away from Johnny Bench to allow Tony P\u00e9rez to reach 1st and extend the inning, Hubbell walked the next two batters, including one with the bases loaded. Oscar Charleston gunned down P\u00e9rez at the plate, tagging up on a flyout to end the inning. But Hubbell kept LA scoreless after that, exiting after 7 innings. Larry Walker hit an RBI single in the 5th to tie the game, and Tony Gwynn hit another in the 7th to put St. Louis ahead 4-3. LA&#8217;s WIllie Mays led off the 9th with a single against Wizards closer, Bruce Sutter. P\u00e9rez singled to put the tying run in scoring position, but pinch hitters Crist\u00f3bal Torriente and Ernie Lombardi grounded out to end the game. Sutter picked up his 11th save and the Wizards improved to 27-13, increasing their lead over LA by 4 games with 2 remaining in the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=735\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">St. Louis @ Los Angeles &#8211; 5\/16\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carl Hubbell overcame a rough 1st inning, topping the Los Angeles Dynamos in a close game to pick up his 7th win of the season.
