Abbott, Mets Shut Out Astros, 7-0
The Houston Astros manager was philosophical in the clubhouse following a shutout loss to the New York Mets. The Astros were overpowered by New York starter Jim Abbott, who hurled his club to victory, 7-0.

"It was just one of those games -- shake it off and do better next time," Mike L said.

Over 9 innings, Abbott blanked Houston on 9 hits with no walks and 3 strikeouts.

"I kept them off balance. I could tell a lot of them were late on fastballs because they were fouling them off. Once you see that, it sets them up for other pitches," Abbott said.

"I set them up, where if they chased one breaking ball, they were going to chase another one."

This season, Abbott has registered 9 wins and 9 losses in 26 starts with a 4.88 ERA.
