Kevin Brown Hits Another Wall
By JoeDavis
Kevin Brown's comeback appearance was short-lived after coming off the DL today to pitch. Brown struggled early as Mark Bellhorn singled and then the Red Sox hit three consecutive wall ball doubles. Brown allowed 4 runs in 2/3 innings.
Manny Ramirez hit a double to move Bellhorn to third. David Ortiz hit a double to score Manny Ramirez and Bellhorn. Then Trot Nixon scraped the wall with another double, which scored Ortiz.
Jason Varitek added a run on a single to right field. Orlando Cabrera then made an out and Bill Mueller hit an infield single.
This was enough for Joe Torre who took the amazing Brown out of the game.
He brought in Esteban Loaiza who ended the inning when Doug Mientkiewicz grounded out.
This was Kevin Brown's first appearance since he broke his glove hand twenty-three days ago. Brian Cashman plans to pitch Kevin Brown one more time this season to judge if Brown will help the Yankees in the post-season.
