Despite the Rain, The Big Unit Has His Day in the Sun
The Q Beat
(AP) - Randy Johnson had to wait a while for his shot at 300 wins. The crowd was small, and the weather was wet. His performance,
however, was more than worthy of the occasion.
The Big Unit hit the big number on Thursday, becoming the 24th pitcher to reach one of baseball’s most revered milestones. Johnson tossed two-hit ball over six innings, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 5-1 victory over the Washington Nationals in the first game of a doubleheader.
Johnson allowed only an unearned run and threw 50 of his 78 pitches for strikes. He faced four batters above the minimum and got spotless relief from his bullpen.
