The strikeout pitching of Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan, who fanned 26 between them, tying the Mets' own major league record for a doubleheader, featured a 5-1 and 2-1 sweep over the Padres in a twi-night twinbill. The Mets originally set the whiff mark with 13 by Ryan, 1 by Danny Frisella and 12 by Ray Sadecki against the Phillies September 9, 1970. Seaver struck out 10 to raise his total for the year to 92. Ryan's 16 strikeouts in the nightcap set a career high for the righthander. Art Shamsky drove in both runs for Ryan with a double and homer. Mets' batters fanned 15 times against Padres' pitching and the two-club total of 41 equaled the major league record by the Mets and Phillies. [The Sporting News] |
