In the second, he gave up a single and a double, leaving runners at second and third. Third baseman Matt Williams grounded out and the Yanks walked Damian Miller to get to Johnson, who complied with a bouncer to Brosius. Normally a solid fielder, Brosius?s throw pulled catcher Posada off the plate, killing any chances for an inning-ending double play. Womack singled to plate two, and then...
