BOSTON (AP) - Mike Mussina became the oldest pitcher to win 20 games in the season for the first time, reaching the milestone on the final game of the season Sunday as the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 6-2 in a day-night doubleheader opener.
The 39-year-old Mussina (20-9), finishing his 18th major league season, allowed three hits in six shutout innings.Previously, the oldest first-time 20-game winner was Jamie Moyer, who was 38 when he went 20-6 for Seattle in 2001. Mussina, who hasn't committed to playing next season, could be the first pitcher to retire following a 20-win season since Sandy Koufax.
