COOPER KEEP PHILS IN CHECK...ST. LOUIS EDGES PHILLY IN CRUCIAL GAME
PHI - 200 000 000 - 2 9 0
STL - 000 030 00X- 3 6 0
WP: M. Cooper (12-13 3.24)
LP: C. Simmons (7-9 3.73) Schilling (7th)
HR: PHI - Klein (23)
Philadelphia had a chance to take over first place in the NL, but the free-wheelin' Phillies didn't fare too well against the crafty slants of Mort Cooper...He gave up 9 hits, but spaced them out very efficiently, fanned 9 and walked nobody...Cooper has been solid all year long for the Cardinals...in the fifth the Cards' Joe Medwick (.252) drove in the first run off loser Curt Simmons, Ted Simmons' (.245) triple tied it and little Ossie Smith (.238) singled across the big game winner...Philly's Chuck Klein (.297) was 3-4 and unloaded a 2-run homer in the first...that is all the Phillies got today off Cooper.
