Forsch ends dry spell
Astros edge Giants J
United Press International
Ken Forsch hadn’t won since the
All-Star break, although he says he
has pitched well enough. A look at
the Astros’ batting statistics supplies
the explanation.
Wednesday was not much diffe
rent offensively, except that Forsch
was able to keep any San Francisco
Giants from scoring. That made Ter
ry Puhl’s RBI good enough to give
the Astros a 1-0 decision and main
tain their place on top of the Western
Division.
As rare as an Astro home run is a
complete game for an Astro pitcher,
but Forsch spread six Giants hits
over nine innings to give the general
ly active bullpen a night off.
“I had been struggling since the
All-Star break,” Forsch said. “I have
pitched well but just haven’t won, I
had confidence despite my recent
bad luck. I had good command of all
my pitches tonight and good control.
I threw harder tonight and finally
broke my slump.”
Forsch, 9-9, pitched his second
shutout of the year while notching
his third complete game of the sea
son. The right-hander struck out six
and walked one.
The game was a test of Forsch’s
control over that of Giants starter
Vida Blue. Through the first five in-
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimi
nings the game was scoreless.
The Giants posed the first scoring
threat in the sixth. Bill North singled
with one out, went to second on a
passed ball and was sacrificed to
third by Joe Pettini. But Jack Clark
flew out to short right and Mike Ivie
struck out to end the threat.
The Astros followed through with
their threat in the sixth. Rafael Land-
estoy singled off Blue, 9-6, with one
out. Enos Cabell then singled and
Puhl followed with his game-winner
to center, scoring Landestoy.
“Vida Blue threw good pitches
tonight,” Puhl said. “I just wanted to
put my bat on the ball and Landestoy
made a heads-up play hi
when I hit the ball,”

base, Ben Oglivie was walked inten

off loser Dick Drago,4 : 5, to break
the tie. Dick Davis followed with a
single to score Oglivie and Sal Bando
capped the rally with a double to
score Lezcano.
The Brewers added two in the
eighth on back-to-back doubles by
Yount and Cooper and sacrifice fly by
Oglivie.
