"I was asked if 1 wanted
to go out there and saw no
point in going out there for
the 10th inning,” Johnson
said. "I surely could have
gone out there and done
it, but what was the point
in going out there and
throwing 10 innings? I re-
ally didn’t see it.”

Johnson had a perfect
game until Aaron Boone
singled with one out in the
fifth. Boone stole second
and scored when Ruben
Rivera singled up the mid-
dle.
Arizona won it when
Mark Grace hit a two-run
double and Matt Williams
walked with the bases
loaded against Danny
Graves (1-1). Troy Bro-
hawn (1-1) had given up a
two-run sacrifice fly to
Alex Ochoa in the top half.

Twenty strikeouts did-
n't earn Randy Johnson a
share of the record. He
didn't even get a win.
'This was a game to put
in a time capsule and let
people of the future watch
it." Johnson said after
fanning 20 in nine innings
against Cincinnati on
Tuesday night.
Arizona went on to beat
Cincinnati 4-3 in 11 in-
nings, overcoming a 3-1
deficit in the 11th, but
Johnson won’t be listed
alongside Roger Clemens
and Kerry Wood in the
record book because the
game went extras, accord-
ing to the Elias Sports Bu-
reau, baseball's statisti-
cian.
