Efficient 350

Roger Clemens wins the 350th game of his career, going eight innings and allowing just one run against the Minnesota Twins. It's the first time Roger completed eight innings since Aug. 23, 2005. Clemens used just 97 pitches tonight as he faced just 27 batters, allowing two hits and a walk.

Of more concern is that the Rocket just struck out four. That gives him four strikeouts in his last fourteen innings, and that's not Clemens. It may be just a bad streak, but if Clemens stops striking out batters, we'll know he's finally declining as a pitcher.

Clemens is now eleven wins behind Kid Nichols. With a great second half, Roger could catch him for seventh place on the all-time list.
