Unit Solid As Bombers Fall, 3-1
Randy Johnson brought his 'A' game against the Minnesota Twins, but the Yankees brought their "D" bats. Johnson's six one-third innings of 1-run ball wasn't enough to offset a Yankee lineup that was made up of minor leaguers, reserves and just two regulars - Bernie Williams and Robinson Cano. The Twins scored twice in the eighth off of Jose Veras and Dusty Bergman for a 3-1 victory.
More important than getting a win was seeing Johnson dominate once again. He allowed a fourth inning home run to Terry Tiffee, but allowed just 5 hits, walked none and struck out 6. Bernie Williams had given the Yankees a 1-0 lead in the third with an RBI single. That was one of only six hits on the day for the Yankees, who had only one extra base hit against Carlos Silva and four relievers.
Robinson Cano was 1-3 and is now hitting .344 for the Spring. Share
