CUBS SHUT OUT, METS LOSE LATE
Wednesday, September 3, 1969
Jim Maloney two-hit the Chicago Cubs at Crosley Field today. Oscar Gamble was the only Cubs player to reach second base when he walked later advanced on Don Kessinger’s single. Bill Hands pitched well but took the loss by giving up a two-run homer to Alex Johnson in the fourth inning.
Reds 2, Cubs 0. W: Maloney (8-4) L: Hands (16-12)
Trailing 4-0, the Mets rallied to tie the game on a pair of two-run homers from Tommie Agee and Don Clendenon off Claude Osteen in the eighth. But Jack DiLauro surrendered a double to Willie Davis that scored Maury Wills with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth.
Dodgers 5, Mets 4. W: Mikkelsen (7-3) L: DiLauro (1-4)
