Tucson Sidewinders News Release


Tucson, AZ - Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Randy Johnson is scheduled to make a Major League rehabilitation start for the Tucson Sidewinders 2008 home opener on Thursday, April 3rd at 6:30 p.m. at Tucson Electric Park.

Thursday would mark the second consecutive Sidewinders home opener started by Johnson after the lefty went 6 innings allowing 3 runs (2 earned) for the club on April 13, 2007. Randy made an additional start for Tucson on April 19, 2007 when he threw another 6 innings of 2 run ball to earn a win against Salt Lake. Johnson is returning from back surgery last August to repair a herniated disc.

The 10-time All-Star enters the 2008 season just 16 victories shy of the 300 win plateau. His five Cy Young Awards are the second most of any Major Leaguer while his 4,616 career strikeouts trail only Nolan Ryan (5,714) and Roger Clemens (4,672).

Fans can purchase tickets in person at the Sidewinders box office during regular business hours from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, via the web by clicking on the Tickets link on the Sidewinders official web page www.tucsonsidewinders.com, or by calling (520) 321-1000.
