Roger Clemens pitched very well, striking out seven and yielding one walk over eight innings, but the two-run homer Joe Randa launched in the second was all that Aaron Harang would need. Harang struck out two in each of the first four innings, winding up with ten Ks and one walk over seven shutout innings.
Do you remember that John Franco was an Astro? If not, it’s probably because of performances like this. He gave up singles to load the bases to all three batters he faced relieving the Rocket in the ninth, and Russ Springer gave up three baserunners of his own and then a three-run shot to Ryan Freel. Chad Qualls had to come in to induce two 43s to mercifully end the inning.
