Chicago Stymied by Koosman

Jerry Koosman of the New York Mets spun his magic on the Chicago Cubs. He blanked them, 6-0, on 2 hits, registering 6 strikeouts and 1 walk.

"The bottom line was I just kept the ball down," Koosman said. "My breaking stuff was down. Everything was down."

Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, New York skipper Gil Hodges said the team "got solid pitching, good defense and took great team at-bats in a lot of different situations."

"Jerry pitched really well but this was a solid performance by everyone," he said.

Koosman has made 6 starts this season, posting 1 win and 2 losses. Opposing clubs are batting .166 against him and he has 35 strikeouts in 45.2 innings with a 2.36 ERA.
