Sunday 5/15/1976: Jerry Koosman pitches 2-hit shutout against St. Louis
ST. LOUIS - Houston's lefty Jerry Koosman is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. St. Louis found out the hard way, getting just 2 hits. Koosman 1st shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 32nd shutouts in his career. Koosman (4-3) was overpowering, fanning 12 while walking 1, throwing 115 pitches. 'Giving my team a chance to win is the most important thing for me. I was able to do it today.' Houston's centerfielder Dick Allen got 2 hits in 3 AB, homering once, with three runs scored. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Koosman.
