It’s rare for 6′8″ Marlins pitcher Sean West to face off against a bigger foe, but he came through in winning style on Monday night as he beat 6′10″ future-Hall-of-Famer Randy Johnson by a score of 4-0. West no-hit the Giants through 6 innings in what was just his fourth career start. He also had fine control on the night, walking just 1 batter in those 6 no-hit innings. As Randy Johnson can confirm, young and exceptionally tall pitchers will often struggle with control issues.
Marlins outfielder Brett Carroll had the first home run of his career in this game off of Johnson. The fan who caught the ball gave it back to Carroll in exchange for a bat.
