Game #37 - New York Mets, 3 @ Houston Astros, 0
This was a great early season duel between the two best flamethrowers in the National League - Dwight Gooden and Nolan Ryan. Both lineups were swinging and missing throughout, but the Mets put up a run in the third on a Mookie Wilson double. Gooden squeezed in Jose Oquendo for another run in the fifth and Backman knocked in Gooden, who had doubled, in the eighth. Despite Nolan's 8 K's, the Astros were shut out by Gooden, making his first career start.
