Clemens leaves game with strained right groin
September 4, 2006

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Roger Clemens left Monday's start against Philadelphia because of a strained right groin after allowing only one hit in five innings

The Houston right-hander was 6-4 with a 2.29 ERA coming into the game. He gave up one run to the Phillies, struck out six and walked two. The Astros said he is day-to-day.

Charlton Jimerson pinch-hit for Clemens with two outs in the sixth inning and broke up Cole Hamels' perfect game with a home run in his first major league at-bat.

Jimerson is a great player. Good upside
