04/26/1975 - Victory Pushes Mets Record to 8-7
Montreal got a terrific performance from pitcher Woodie Fryman, but it wasn't enough to beat the New York Mets. New York won the Jarry Park contest, 5-4. Fryman was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He threw 8 innings of 5-hit ball. New York reliever Bob Apodaca picked up the win, upping his record to 1-1. Dale Murray was saddled with the loss. Rick Baldwin picked up the save for New York, his 1st of the year.
This game was not decided until late. With one out in the top of the ninth, Joe Torre hit a sacrifice fly. The Mets took the lead, 5-4.
"I'm just happy to help the team win," Torre told the New York News. Mets first baseman Dave Kingman had a solo HR off LHP Woodie Fryman.
Montreal, at 3-12, has had a dismal start to the season.
