San Francisco Giants veteran Randy Johnson notched career victory #299 Wednesday night with a 6-3 win over the Atlanta Braves to complete the three-game sweep.
The 45-year-old future Hall of Famer hurled six solid innings, surrendering just one run on three hits and no walks to even up his record at 4-4 with a 5.71 ERA. Johnson, a five-time Cy Young Award winner, fanned five batters, racking up his career total to 4,843 Ks, which just so happens to be the second-most in baseball history. Second only to Nolan Ryan. That's some pretty good company.
Stay tuned for the VooDoo Sabermetrics of The Big Unit, likely coming this June after he reaches #300, which might even happen when the Giants head to Washington for a three-game series against the Nationals on the 2nd. Piece of cake?
