Mother nature was the only thing that could've held back Randy Johnson's bid for win number 300 Thursday. It definitely wasn't going to be the Nationals.
Johnson became only the 24th pitcher and major league history to win 300 games, and only the sixth left-handed pitcher. Now the Giants just have to hope that win number 300 isn't his last.
On a rainy Thursday afternoon, Randy Johnson pitched a gem and left almost no doubt that he would reach the milestone. He pitched six innings and only gave up two hits and one unearned run.
The Giants bullpen almost blew it allowing the bases to be loaded in the eighth innin
g, but closer Brain Wilson got out of the jam by striking out Adam Dunn.This is a great milestone for a pitcher that I think is extremely underrated. He may not be the same dominant pitcher who could strikeout 12 batters a game and think nothing of it, but he still manages games. Thursday was a great example of that.
