Johnson shelled in Philly

At a night game at Shibe Park, Randy Johnson gave up 4 homers. Willie Jones launched 2 homeruns as the 1950 Phila Phillies beat the 1998 Houston Astros by a score of 5-4. Jones enjoyed a big evening at the plate. He cracked a solo homerun in the 3rd inning, doubled in the 5th inning and hit a bases-empty home run in the 7th inning. Del Ennis and Granny Hamner also had homers off Johnson. Bubba Church was great in relief and recorded his 1st save. The winning pitcher was Russ Meyer (1-0) who allowed 2 runs in 6 innings. The losing pitcher was Randy Johnson (0-1). Astros tried to come back in the 7 and 8th innings but were shut down. Astros are winless while Phillies are atop NL East.
