Jim Wynn had 5 hits and 6 RBI at The Astrodome as the Houston Astros belted
the New York Mets by the count of 18 to 2.
It seemed that New York pitching was serving up softballs for Wynn to hit. He
doubled in the 1st inning, slapped a single which scored a run in the 3rd
inning, doubled bringing in two baserunners in the 4th inning, lined a
one-base hit in the 6th inning and belted a three-run homer in the 7th
inning. Houston provided plenty of action in the 3rd inning which saw them
score 5 runs on 4 hits and the 7th inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 3
hits. Houston simply wore out the New York pitching staff, scoring in 6
different innings.
Turk Farrell(6-5) went 6 and 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory.
Dennis Ribant(8-4) was the losing pitcher. He was hit hard and gave up 7
hits and 2 walks in 2 innings.
Houston now has a record of 46-51. With this loss, New York has a 4-6 record
of late, 33-64, worst in the league overall.
