Third Stage
I don't know how much more effective Roger Clemens can be. In his 7th start, he went seven innings, threw 71 of 106 pitches for strikes, and struck out 11. He allowed 1 run on a solo homer. His ERA now stands at 1.99, and if the 6-1 Houston lead holds up, he'll be 7-0. An amazing start to a season at any age.

i went to the game last night. He wasn't especially sharp the first 2 innings- threw about equal # of balls and strikes. then he sharpened up in the 3rd and was unhittable from the 4th on. (just about the same thing the last few games he pitched, too.) brad penny was really good, too. he had 1-2-3 innings for 4 innings. but he didn't have many strikeouts and had a lot of flyouts and grounders and it seemed like the stros were going to finally figure out how to time him and they did in the 7th when he got tired and the change wasn't as sharp.
