Astros 5 Pirates 1

It's tempting to say that Clemens was simply better than the Pirates tonight, but that isn't really true. Clemens really didn't bring anything exceptional to the plate tonight. He worked 6 innings and only allowed 1 run, but he did give up six hits and only struck out two. In his own right, Victor Santos wasn't much worse with his 6 innings, 8 hits, 3 runs, and 4 Ks, though he did walk 3 to Clemens' 1. Still, there simply wasn't much offense to go around tonight against the Rocket. Freddy and Burnitz had two hits apiece and... well that was actually about it. Xavier Nady had an RBI single and walked once. Britt Reams... pitched. Yeah, I'm stretching at this point.
