One Inning Too Long

Roger Clemens pitched five shutout innings against the Orioles tonight, but he wasn't sharp. He allowed just three hits, but he walked two without striking out a batter. He shouldn't have come out for the sixth. The first four batters reached, with the last being a three run homer by Aubrey Huff. Clemens gave up a total of four hits and one walk in the inning, and still hasn't struck out a batter.

Meanwhile, Bedard is also pitching a shutout. He's allowed just two hits and one walk and struck out seven so far. And now the Orioles have given him a lead he can hold.

Update: The Orioles win 4-0 and the Yankees losing streak goes to four. With the Red Sox getting swept in Seattle, the Yankees are blowing a golden opportunity to gain on Boston.

David, very small sample, and I've criticized others for that in the past. But ... perhaps some of the statistical geniuses that projected Clemens for a 2.5 era would care to comment? What nonsense! He was a 4 pitcher in his previous AL East go round. Hearing it was too hot for him. Gonna get ugly fast on NYC.
