It was Carlton&#8217;s 3rd shutout overall, and it came at a perfect time. The win puts the St. Louis Wizards up 7 games on LA with 7 left to play, just one away from clinching their spot in the World Series. Los Angeles starter Pete Alexander didn&#8217;t make it easy. Alexander allowed a leadoff double to Oscar Charleston followed by an RBI single from Tony Gwynn. It was the only run St. Louis would score. Alexander allowed 6 hits in his 8 innings. The Dynamos have now lost 6 straight, scoring just 10 runs over that stretch, and 9 of their last 10. The Wizards will look to clinch tomorrow when they face LA again at Sportsman&#8217;s Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=765\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Los Angeles @ St. Louis &#8211; 5\/23\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Carlton allowed just 4 hits and struck out 9, shutting out the Los Angeles Dynamos for the 2nd time this season.
