1991 Game/Player of Note

August 14, 1991

 While it has been a disappointing season for a team, the New York Mets got a sterling performance
from a player tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals. Shortstop Howard Johnson hit 3 homeruns and drove in 5 runs in the Mets 14-7 victory over the Cardinals. The homers gave him 27 on the year, 3rd most in the NL. Fans of the last place Mets haven't had much to cheer about this season and now take solace wherever they can. Johnson provided that tonight.

Howard Johnson rocketed 3 homeruns and had 5 RBI and David Cone dominated
striking out 10 St. Louis batters as the New York Mets defeated the St. Louis
Cardinals 14 to 7 at Busch Stadium.
 
Johnson had a great evening at the plate.  He smacked a three-run homer in the
1st inning, smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 3rd inning, tripled in the
4th inning and lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' in the 8th inning.  New York
had many opportunities throughout the game and scored in 6 separate innings.
 
The victory went to Cone(8-8) who went 8 and 2/3 innings, allowing 7 runs. The
loss was charged to Bryn Smith(11-5).  He was knocked around by New York,
allowing 8 hits and 2 walks in 2 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'I had my good stuff tonight.' Cone said. 'As the game went along I started to
get the feeling that I was going to strike out a bunch of hitters.'

History was made in St. Louis as Frank Castillo(1-1) tossed a no-hitter and
the Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 8 to
0.
 
Castillo was just too much for St. Louis.  He had excellent control, walking
only one.  The tension built to a fever pitch.  After the 8th inning
everybody in the ballpark was anticipating what would happen in the 9th.
Chicago had 12 hits for the night.  
 
Jose Deleon(6-6) was the loser. Chicago knocked him around a bit, as he gave
up 6 runs in 3 innings.  It took a while to pry Castillo way from his
teammates as they all wanted to show their appreciation and joy.  Finally,
however, Jim Essian got to offer his own congratulations with a big bear hug
and the comment, 'That was one of the best pitched games I have seen in all
my years in baseball - Castillo was masterful out there tonight!'
