September 4, 2006 Astros 10, Phillies 2
| The Phillies recent slump continues, losing their 5th out of the last 6 and allowing 10 or more runs for the 3rd time in the last 4 games. The battle of old vs. young (44 year old Roger Clemens vs. 22 year old Cole Hamels) ends up as Hamels worst start of the year and his 2nd straight loss, although he is not totally to blame. Hamels walked Lance Berkman and Chris Lane to lead off the 4th, and Aubrey Huff grounded what looked to be a sure double play ball to third baseman Abraham Nunez. Nunez goes to first with it, and throws it over Ryan Howard's head for a 2 base error to score a run and open the floodgates. The game just fell apart from there. Pat Burrell's 2-run homer in the Phillie 4th would be the only scoring off Clemens, who goes the distance. Also of note, the win for the Astros puts them in first in the NL Central and ties them with the Phillies for the best record in the National League. Interesting side note: When Roger Clemens began his career with the Red Sox in 1984, his opponent today Cole Hamels was 4 months old! Hell, Clemens is old enough to be his father! |
