Yankees escalate lead to 7-2, knock Jim Johnson out of game

Stay connected for news and updates

Goodness. There's just blood and feathers everywhere.

After that Russell Martin homer led off the ninth, Jim Johnson could only retire one batter (A-Rod swinging) as Raul Ibañez singled, Derek Jeter poked one through the right side on a hit and run, and Ichiro squibbed a tiny grounder that Johnson couldn't get to in time, scoring a run. Robinson Cano knocked a double into the left field corner, scoring two more, and that was all for Johnson in the game.

A Nick Swisher sac fly off Tommy Hunter added on another point and Baltimore hit a nadir in feelings for the night. That's ... that's just a brutal way to finish an excellent game for everybody.
