Red Sox / Orioles - Game 16

Matt Clement pitched a gem last night as the Sox won 1-0. What were the odds that two of the best offenses in baseball would be limited to just 1 run between them?

Matt Clement's gem made me think of this comparison:

Matt Clement - 2-0 / 25.1 IP / 23 K / 11 BB / 2.13 ERA
Derek Lowe - 1-1 / 28.1 IP / 17 K / 8 BB / 1.27 ERA

Given that the ERA difference between the AL and NL is worth half a run - these numbers are very close. Given that Lowe is 32 and Clement is 31 and that Lowe signed a 4-year - $36 million contract and Clement signed for 3-years - $25.5 million (plus incentives) - you will probably see these guys compared alot around Boston for the next few years.
