 HOUSTON (AP) - Roger Clemens was victimized by poor run support again. The Rocket allowed two runs in seven strong innings but didn't get a decision as the Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 Friday night on Morgan Ensberg's run-scoring double in the ninth.
Clemens, 4-0 in seven starts since May 30, gave up eight hits, struck out four and walked one. His ERA, the best in the major leagues, rose to 1.48 from 1.41.
The 42-year-old right-hander, selected an All-Star for the 11th time, is 7-3 in 18 starts this year, and the Astros have scored three runs or fewer in five of his no-decisions. He had lost in his only previous appearance against the Dodgers, the only major league team he had not faced at least twice.
