Don Wilson - May 2, 1971

May 2, 1971
New York (Jerry Koosman) @ Houston

Wilson and Koosman hooked up for an old fashioned pitchers duel. Wilson pitched beautifully allowing only two baserunners to reach scoring position. Koosman was also terrific striking out 8 Astros in eight innings. 

The only score of the game came on a bad break for Koosman. In the bottom of the fifth Cesar Cedeno reached on a Bob Aspromonte error and then scored on a Jack Hiatt double. Koosman loses on an unearned run!
