Johnson starts with a 2 k inning.

[Rob from Mass]

Bats show up in the 4th. Nunez plates 1 and Vas with a 2b scores 2.Johnson gives a HR and looks ok  with 4K thru 3.

[Rob from Mass]

Beni gets his 1st hit and HANLEY with a bomb.  5-1

[Schloicka]

Good job by Johnson. Now need the pen to hold the lead.

[markj]

Nice. 6-1. Glad to see some offense finally.

[markj]

Bogey still getting on base. Sweet.

[markj]

Cora is hopefully at least thinking about getting someone up in the pen.

[Leesam01]

This middle bullpen does not inspire confidence.

[markj]

Good to see you back again, Leesam01.

[markj]

Nice throw, Xander. Not. Blew that DP. The inning goes on.

[markj]

Out of it.

[Leesam01]

Good to see you back again, Leesam01.

Thanks!

[Leesam01]

Glad the damage was limited to one run.
