Randy Johnson

SEPTEMBER 7, 1998 — Randy Johnson was everything the Astros were looking for when they acquired him from the Mariners. The tall left-hander brought his sparkling ERA down to 1.00 since the trade with another dominant performance, firing a complete-game shutout with 14 strikeouts. The hard-throwing ace had 85 punchouts in 63 innings pitched to this point since the deadline trade.
