Choosing NY Mets (Ishii) and Houston (Clemens) under 8.
_______Feel a pitching duel is brewing.
For all his success, Roger Clemens has never won a game at Shea Stadium.
Of course, Clemens (1-0, 1.29 ERA) is detested by Mets fans for hitting Mike Piazza in the head with a pitch when he played for the New York Yankees in 2000.
Clemens is 0-3 with a 7.64 ERA at Shea, making it the only venue in the major leagues in which he has made more than one start without recording a win. It is one of just two stadiums in which he has a losing record. Clemens lost his only start at Dodger Stadium.
After winning his first National League Cy Young Award last season, Clemens started 2005 in strong fashion, allowing just one run and five hits in seven innings in a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds last Friday.
The Mets won their home opener, 8-4, on Monday, their second straight victory after a five-game losing streak to start the year. Kaz Matsui snapped a 4-4 tie with a two-out, RBI single in a five-run eighth inning.
The Mets counter with Kaz Ishii (0-1, 6.75), who has been solid in two career starts at Shea. Ishii, who gave up six runs but just two hits in 6 2/3 innings in a 6-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds last Thursday, was 2-0 with a 1.50 mark here as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
