Memorial Day Melee, Reds vs Astros 5-30-05

Reds ace Aaron Harang faces Hall of Famer Roger Clemens in Houston. Harang, by far the Reds best starter this season, is off to a 3-2 start with a 3.32 ERA and 47 K's. He's now over his flu that caused him to miss his last start.

Clemens, coming off a Cy Young season and a strained groin suffered in his last start, is also 3-2 with a stellar 1.19 ERA and 69 K's.


Additional gamenotes:

Streaking:
Felipe Lopez has a career high 11 game hitting streak. Also streaking, catcher Jason LaRue who went 3-4 with a HR and a double to extend his streak to 8 straight games. Sean Casey is also on a season high 6 game hitting streak.

Griffey has 6 HR in 81 career AB's against Clemens. HoFer vs HoFer is always a fun matchup to watch.

Has Rich Aurilla been regulated to the bench?

Miley has the right players in there, just not in the order that I would like to see them.

Here's to a winning Memorial Day!

Miley doesn't want RA's stats to suffer, so he's sparing him "The Rocket".
