Wow. That is one of the most flattering pictures of Randy Johnson I have ever seen.His slider has lost some slide and his fastball isn't so fast anymore, so The Big Unit has worked a split-finger fastball and sinker into his bag to find new ways to win ballgames. Also, he pitches for an awesome team, so that helps.
The 44-year-old Arizona Diamondbacks veteran tied Tommy John Sunday at 24th on the career wins list with victory #288 and his 4th of the season.
He lasted a season-high seven innings against the Detroit Tigers, allowing six hits and a walk and striking out five on 98 pitches in the 4-0 win.
The Motor City Kitties were a horrid 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position Sunday, and 1-for-20 in the series. Cringe.

He looks like a turkey.
This was by far the best outing for the Unit this year. As you mention, he is now showing to be much more multi-dimensional in his approach...and that may just get him to 300 this year.
Looks like all that grease in his hair is helping his pitching after all. That guy rubs McNasty on the ball from his hair between pitches. It's kind of hard to watch, because you know one of the other guys has to bare hand it at some point.
