NEW YORK (N) - New York (N)'s right-hander Tom Seaver is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking Pittsburgh on just one hit. It's his 6th shutout this season, and the 39th time he has done it in his career. 'I really like to play baseball, and I love the way I was able to play it today.' Seaver (13-7) was overpowering, fanning 11 while walking 1, throwing 108 pitches. The hitting star for New York (N) was second baseman Frank Coggins, he went 4 for 5, blasting a homerun, with three runs scored and driving in 3 runs. New York (N) improved its record to 49-46, scoring 16 runs on 16 hits.
Thursday 7/21/1976: Houston's Watson out for 4-5 weeks
HOUSTON - Houston's Bob Watson suffered a serious injury Thursday in a game against New York (N). Watson fell down while running the bases and couldn't get up without help.

Thursday 7/21/1976: Lew Krausse Jr. blanks Milwaukee with a 1-hitter

'I didn't feel that I had good stuff while warming up. But it got better the more I threw the ball. I guess I was lucky.' Krausse Jr. (7-8) struck out 4 and walked 3, throwing 57 of 98 pitches for strikes. Texas' catcher Ellie Rodriguez stroked 1 hit in 3 AB, homering once, and driving in 2 runs. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Krausse Jr.. Texas scored 2 runs on 6 hits.
Wednesday 7/20/1976: Geoff Zahn turns in great performance against Texas

I was able to hit the corners with all of my pitches.' Milwaukee's third baseman Buddy Bell stroked 1 hit in 2 AB, homering once, and collecting 4 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Zahn. Milwaukee improved its record to 53-40, scoring 13 runs on 11 hits.
Monday 7/18/1976: Chicago (N)'s Santo wins Player of the Week award
