1.   Although Carmona became the winning pitcher, Mariners starter Rusty Meacham was more deserving.

2.   And his teammates, the winning pitcher Leiter in particular, said Friday night it picked them up.

3.   And Johnson would have been the winning pitcher.

4.   And on Thursday night in Philadelphia, though he was not the winning pitcher, Reed worked seven innings.

5.   And the stats in the media guide told me I was the second winning pitcher among Latin pitchers and there were numbers that were reachable.

6.   Armando Almanza was the winning pitcher in relief, retiring Todd Pratt and Melvin Mora with runners in scoring position in the top of the ninth.

7.   Banks had not thrown in a game in almost three weeks, and he was the winning pitcher.

8.   Batista was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh when the Diamondbacks took the lead for good and wound up the winning pitcher.

9.   All three came off Yankees starter David Wells, who still wound up the winning pitcher.

10.   But now there is the saga of weary old Randy Johnson coming in to hold off the Yankees, and emerging as the winning pitcher.
