What’s Going On?

Congratulations goes out to the Randy “Big Unit” Johnson who reaches his 300th career victory over the Washington Nationals. The Walnut Creek, CA born player is the 24th pitcher in major league baseball to have achieved such a milestone. Some other achievements are that he is the tallest pitcher to reach the 300 mark standing tall at 6foot 10inches. He has 5 Cy Young Awards. He has 4845 strikeouts. He has pitched 2 no- hitters (one of them was a perfect game). He also even got to demolish a bird in spring training as he threw a fastball against the Giants in 2001. He has many many more achievements, but these are just some to mention.

Johnson gains his 300th career win as he helped lead the Giants to a 5-1 victory in Game 1 of the double header, where eventually he was taken out of the game due to landing on his left arm/shoulder as he barehanded a ball behind the mound and tossed it towards first base to get the out in the bottom of the 6th inning.

Giants went on to win Game 2 of the double header after a rain delay winning 4-1. Giants take the series from the Nationals.
