Dwight Gooden and Bob Gibson were in a 1-1 duel in the 6th inning when a rare error by Jim Edmonds extended the inning and loaded the bases. Gooden struck out Willie Stargell for what would have been the 3rd out. Hornsby followed with a grand slam, giving Houston a 5-1 lead. The Hoots would go on to win it 6-1, increasing their lead in the National League to 1 1\/2 games. Gooden allowed just 6 hits while striking out 10 in the loss. Gibson&#8217;s only run came in the 1st due to his own throwing error. Albert Pujols accounted for half of Chicago&#8217;s hits, going 3 for 4. Stargell hit his 8th homer in the 2nd inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/05-07-2023_CHN_HOU.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Docs @ Hoots - 5\/7\/23\">Docs @ Hoots &#8211; 5\/7\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rogers Hornsby picked the right time for his 1st home run of the season.
