Gibson's line: 8 innings, 9 hits, 5 runs, 5 walks, 12 strikeouts.

It was the 72nd and final time that Gibson achieved double-digit strikeouts in a game.

"That's as great as I've seen him pitch since '73, " Expos manager Gene Mauch said to the Associated Press. "He mixed his pitches beautifully and threw the ball hard when he had to."

Said Carter, who was 5 years old when Gibson made his big-league debut in 1959: "Bob Gibson had good stuff out there. He's a fantastic pitcher."

Gibson threw 151 pitches.

"I guess my stuff was all right"
