Braves Carter Strikes out 15 Sunday, September 12th, 1982 Everything was working for Gary Carter today at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium 1974. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 32-year-old Carter fanned 15 Reds and sparked the Atlanta Braves to a 7-1 victory over Cincinnati. He left Reds hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Atlanta manager Cary Rosen. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 9 innings, Carter allowed 2 hits and 4 walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Carter said with a smile. Checking out his stats for the year, Carter has racked up 7 wins and 11 losses in 26 starts, 6.41 ERA and struck out 102 batters in 151.2 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
