Seaver would finish with a complete game, allowing 8 hits while striking out 11. But he also picked up his 2nd loss of the season, as the St. Louis Wizards topped LA 2-1. Steve Carlton was just as good, allowing 7 hits and striking out 6. The sole Wizards run came on a Hank Aaron solo homer. Aaron came to the plate in the 9th with 2 men on and 2 outs, but Rich Gossage came in and struck him out to end the game. Aaron finished 3 for 4. The Wizards have now won 5 straight after a slow start to get to 6-6. Despite a 1.82 ERA, Carton is just 2-2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/04-13-2023_STL_LAN.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Wizards @ Dynamos - 4\/13\/23\">Wizards @ Dynamos &#8211; 4\/13\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Dynamos starter, Tom Seaver, made one mistake, and Mike Schmidt took him deep for a 2-run home run in the 2nd inning.
