Boston Red Sox

Unit of measure

Things haven’t started well for Randy Johnson. But they just ended well in the third.

After the Red Sox re-claimed the lead on Jason Varitek’s RBI single, scoring Manny Ramirez, Johnson rebounded by striking out the side, finally getting Alex Gonazalez on a called third strike in a 10-pitch at-bat.

Despite his struggles, Johnson has struck out six batters through three innings already.
