Clemens denied again.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Jim Salisbury
DETROIT _ As if George Steinbrenner stomping around and breathing fire in the wake of an unacceptable 11-17 record in May hadn't placed enough pressure on the New York Yankees, they now have Roger Clemens' pursuit of history causing them stress.
It showed Sunday in the form of four errors and a blown six-run lead.
The Yankees survived and did what matters most to Steinbrenner, beating the lowly but pesky Detroit Tigers, 10-9, in 17 arduous innings at Comerica Park.
Outside of the Bronx and Steinbrenner's Tampa headquarters, however, the Yankees' 33d win of the season was a mere subplot to Clemens' bid for win No. 300, a quest that has now gone unrequited for two straight starts.
The Tigers frequently have trouble filling a quarter of the seats in their shiny home ballpark, but under a sunny sky they had their biggest crowd ever at Comerica Park _ 44,095. Those who couldn't get seats climbed to the roof of a nearby parking garage and looked down on the action.
Were they there to see Clemens become the 21st member of Club 300, or to see him be denied?
