Brown leads San Diego
to win in Series opener
Brown, Johnson clash in
the opening game of the
National League series
By Bernie Wilson
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — The marquee
matchup between Randy Johnson
and Kevin Brown lived up to ex
pectations — close, tense and full
of strikeouts.
The kicker, though, was that
Brown did an awesome imitation
of Johnson, showing up the Big
Unit in the Astrodome as the San
Diego Padres beat the Houston
Astros 2-1 in the opening game of
their NL division series.
Brown struck out 16 and al
lowed just two hits in eight in
nings in a brilliant performance as
the Padres stole home-field ad
vantage in the best-of-5 series.
tsrown s strikeouts were the
most ever in division series play
and just one short of Bob Gibson’s
postseason-record 17 in the 1968
World Series.
The right-hander said this was
a bigger game than the no-hitter
he pitched for the Florida Marlins
in 1997.
“I’ll take this one any time be
cause of the impact of the situa
tion,” he said. “Being in the regu
lar season, that didn’t have the
meaning for the team that this one
did.”
Astros manager Larry Dierker
said Brown was “as dominant as
you can be, other than pitching a
no-hitter. There wasn’t more he
could have done.”
Both aces were obtained in
trades to try to get their teams to
the World Series. Brown was
there last year, winning a ring
with Florida, but became expend
able along with the other high
priced Marlins and was snapped
up for three prospects. The Astros
got Johnson from the Seattle
Mariners at the July 31 trading
deadline.
No one likes facing Johnson,
and the Astros found out how
brutal it can be facing Brown.
“It was a very dominating per
formance,” said Johnson, who has
lost his last four postseason deci
sions.
“Now I know why a lot of the
hitters drag their bats back,”
added Johnson, who struck out 12
Padres in an interleague game on
June 24. “He defies the law of
gravity with the pitches he
throws. With his forkball and
sinker, it's no fun facing a guy like
that, so I can imagine what it’s
like for our hitters who were di
aled in and focused.”
Brown s previous strikeout
high was 11, which he did three
times in his final 11 regular-sea
son starts.
Brown, 18-7 during the regular
season, beat Atlanta’s Greg Mad
dux and Tom Glavine in last
year’s NL championship series
despite being weakened by the
flu, and now has added Johnson
to his list.
Brown said his job was to con
centrate on the hitters, not on
Johnson.
“Thank goodness I did a good
job,” Brown said. “That was my
focus, and I did that probably as
well as I’ve done it in quite some
time.”
Johnson had been practically
untouchable at home, going 5-0 —
the first four wins were shutouts
— since coming over to the As
tros.
