Arkansas' Roger Clemens is now just one win away from 200 for his career. He will join Greg Maddux and Pedro Martinez as the only others to achieve the mark. Clemens was a bit shaky in the game, a 9-3 win over Philadelphia, but he improved to 10-6 on the season thanks to a solid bullpen and a completely ineffective Erik Bedard. Another Falcon, recently-acquired Craig Biggio is one hit away from 1500 career hits.
Randy Johnson is now only eight strikeouts away from 3000. Johnson pitched a complete game, 7-hit, shutout against Honolulu, as Newark took the game 6-0. Johnson struck out six and walked none.
Hoboken had an impressive 11-7 win over Las Vegas Thursday. With a 7-4 lead late in the game, Hoboken narrowed the lead to 7-6 after a Mike Napoli homer in the eighth. In the ninth, Hoboken tied the game up with a Miguel Cabrera single, then with two outs and the bases loaded, Ian Kinsler took Damaso Marte deep for a walk-off grand slam. By the way, it was the first appearance for Marte since the Rat Pack signed him a few days ago. Welcome to the team!
There will be no games tomorrow to clean up after today's Take Your Dog to Work Day festivities.
