This was a pitching matchup between Johnsons, with Jason for Cleveland and Randy for New York. The Yankees led 3-1 going into the bottom of the sixth and their three runs essentially put the game away but also provided the spark for fireworks to come when Jason Johnson plunked Jorge Posada. With one out in the seventh, Randy Johnson apparently retaliated by hitting Eduardo Perez, resulting in the ejection of both him and Joe Torre. This ended a strong start for the Big Unit: 6 1/3 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 0 W, 6 K, and just 77 pitches. Scott Proctor and Ron Villone closed it out with just a Grady Sizemore double.
