Rocket Records 350th Win

Posted Jul 3, 07 4:30 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Roger Clemens became the eighth 350-game winner in Major League history last night, striking out 4 in a 5-1 win over Minnesota. The Rocket is the first to reach the milestone since 1963, when then-Braves backstop Joe Torre caught a 2-0 win from Hall of Famer Warren Spahn.

Clemens had been less than dominant in his previous three starts: Last week, Baltimore snapped the 44-year-old's streak of 200 games with a strikeout. But the bombers reversed a recent offensive drought last night with some clutch hits, including a sixth-inning blast from Bobby Abreu; closer Mariano Rivera notched his 423rd career save to seal the milestone.
