The Mets behind Tom Glavine defeated Randy Johnson and the Diamondbacks 1-0 tonight. Glavine and Johnson both allowed 3 hits in their 7 innings of work. The only lone score was a home run by Kazuo Matsui on the second pitch of the game. The first time the rookie from Japan had batted against the Big Unit. It was the first time that two left-handers with at least 233 wins apiece have faced each other, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Glavine, 38, entered the game with 255, Johnson, at age 40, has 233. Their 488 wins combined were the most by two left-handers who started the same game since Steve Carlton (328 wins) went for Cleveland against Jerry Reuss (196) of California on July 1, 1987. Braden looper picked up the save for the Mets. Great game.
