Friday 6/17/2001: Randy D. Johnson shuts out Minnesota on 2 hits
MINNESOTA - Age doesn't matter. At least Boston's lefty Randy D. Johnson shares this opinion. The 37 year old pitched a 2-hit shutout against Minnesota, recording his 2nd shutout of the season. 'They took some ugly cuts at my breaking stuff, so I kept throwing it. Fortunately they were not able to adjust in time.' Johnson (8-4) showed excellent control, walking nobody and fanning 6. Johnny Damon provided Boston with the offense Johnson needed as he finished 3 for 5, homering twice, doubling once, scoring two runs and driving in 3 runs. The final score of the game was 9-0.
Wednesday 6/15/2001: Bobby Abreu stars with cycle against Montreal
MONTREAL - Milwaukee's centerfielder Bobby Abreu accomplished a difficult feat in a game against Montreal, hitting for the cycle to improve his career batting average to .263!

His 4th hit, off Matt Ruebel in the 9th inning, was a solo homerun and cleared the fence in right-center. That drive completed the cycle, causing a smile on his face! Bobby did drive in 6 while scoring 4 runs on his own. His 4 hit performance increases his batting average to .249. He's now the 110th player in league history to hit for the cycle! Brian Schneider was the last player to hit for the cycle, doing it 5/25/2001.
