THE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS : California vs. Boston; New York vs. Houston : American League Playoff Notebook : Because of Television, the Sun Shines in All the Wrong Places for Angels
Times Staff Writer
BOSTON —
Though Roger Clemens insisted that he had good velocity in Game 1, Angel sources say they clocked him in the 86 to 88-m.p.h. range.
He is normally at 93 to 96.
There is lingering suspicion that Clemens is still hurting after being hit on the right elbow by a line drive in his last regular season start.
His 143 pitches Tuesday night were his season high, five more than he threw in his 20 strikeout game against Seattle.
