The son of Roger Clemens and two other minor league teammates were arrested early yesterday and briefly jailed after a disturbance at a restaurant in Salem, Va.

In a news release, police said Koby Clemens, Mark Ori and Jimmy Goethals were arrested after police were called to the parking lot of a restaurant.

Clemens and Ori were charged with disorderly conduct. Goethals was charged with assault and battery. All three were held in the Roanoke County-Salem Jail before being released on bond.

The three play for the Salem Avalanche, which played its final game of the season yesterday against Lynchburg, a Pirates affiliate. In a statement, the Houston Astros said they were attempting to sort out the circumstances leading to arrest of the three players in their minor league system.

"Based on the feedback and information we get from the court appearance, we will make a decision as to what disciplinary action will be taken," said Ricky Bennett, assistant general manager/director of player development for the Houston Astros.

Right-hander Ben Sheets was removed from the team's game against the New York Mets yesterday after five innings with "very, very slight" tightness in his left groin. Sheets said it first tightened while he was warming up for the third inning, and manager Ned Yost removed him as a precautionary measure.

One day after CC Sabathia pitched a controversial one-hitter against the Pirates, Milwaukee's general manager said he may lobby to have changes made to the way official scoring decisions are made.

Doug Melvin said he thought there should be a committee to decide scoring decisions like the one that may have cost Sabathia a no-hitter in the Brewers' 7-0 victory against the Pirates Sunday. One official scorer is used in all baseball games until the World Series, where a three-person panel reviews scoring plays.

Melvin said representatives of both teams put a lot of pressure on scorers when controversial calls are made. He suggested a three-person panel consisting of an official scorer and two writers.
