</td></tr></tbody></table><!-- T9405524 for MLB_20060429_TOR@NYY -->The New York Yankees have been struggling to find some consistency this season and if anyone on their pitching staff knows how that feels it's Randy Johnson.
Johnson and the Yankees take on the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday at Yankee Stadium in the second of the three-game series.
Johnson (3-2, 3.73 ERA) makes his second start this season against the Blue Jays after giving up seven runs over 3 1-3 innings in a 10-5 loss on April 18. Kelly Stinnett was catching Johnson in that game, and the Yankees are hoping a different backstop in the rematch can make a difference.
Jorge Posada will be behind the plate with Johnson on the mound for the third time this season, and the pairing has worked well for New York (11-10).
Johnson is 2-0 this season with Posada and, including his relief appearance in Game 5 of last year's AL division series, the 42-year-old left-hander has an 0.93 ERA in his last three outings with Posada.
In his most recent start, Johnson had Posada behind the plate on Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles as he gave up one run and three hits through eight innings in a 7-1 win.
"It's just another day," Posada said. "You establish a plan before the game, and we executed it real well."
The win continued Johnson's pattern of alternating wins and losses through his first five starts this season.
"I'm going to have some bad starts - I'm only human," Johnson said.
Though he's 13-7 with a 3.44 ERA lifetime against the Blue Jays, Johnson is 0-3 in his last four starts against them and has lasted a total of nine innings in the last three, giving up 16 runs and 21 hits.
After winning four of five, the Yankees lost the opener of the series 7-2 on Friday. The Blue Jays (12-9) hit three home runs, including two by Shea Hillenbrand, who had only one home run all season before Friday.
New York's only runs came off a two-run homer by Bernie Williams in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Derek Jeter was 2-for-5 with two strikeouts on Friday. The Yankees shortstop is hitting .407 this season.
"Derek is really locked in right now," manager Joe Torre said. "You'd like to believe he can hold on to that concentration the whole year, but we know that can't happen."
One person who is hoping Jeter will start to cool off is Josh Towers (0-4, 8.35), who starts Saturday for Toronto. Jeter is batting .444 (12-for-27) against Towers.
In his last start on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox, Towers gave up four runs and seven hits through 5 2-3 innings in a 6-3 loss. He continued his trend of falling behind early, giving up three runs in the first inning.
Towers has allowed at least three runs within the first two innings in all four of his starts.
"He finds his groove - finds his rhythm a little bit," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "Naturally, when a guy's struggling, he starts pressing. He's probably coming out of the gates trying a little too hard. Sometimes the harder you try, the tougher it gets."
Towers is 1-6 lifetime against the Yankees despite a respectable 3.88 ERA.

Its not all the time. But I'm willing to bet that the feed they are using is implementing MLBTV commercials during the half innings. No other feeds have that except for the ones without score boxes.

it does it all the time for me. This entire homestand has been this way. Plus it doesn't even show the score or strikes/balls or men on base at the top of the screen. It's annoying

Lucky break. Arod hit it all of 10 feet.

Towers looked to 2nd to start the double play but Sheff was already there, then saw Damon running home so he threw it home, but it was too late. Should've went to 1st.

Its seems as though there's always one guy on every team who puts up huge numbers against the Yankees compared to their rather mediocre career numbers. Hillebrand is one of them.

I think you're assuming that the lead will remain 4-2, which it won't.... Yanks will probably tack on 3 more an inning until this pylon Towers gets the hook. I'm from Toronto, and Towers ................ing blows. I'd rather the Yankees hit off a tee.

I think both the starters will be in a little while longer. Might depend on pitch count, and on the offense that the teams put up. But if they're both sucking, it's just a question of which manager cracks first and calls up the BP.

The only reason he has only looked bad against them is because they are the only competent offensive team he has faced. When he plays toronto, they are good hitters and he is getting exposed. He needs to get his slider together or he is gonna get hammered by the red sox.

Unless the Jays have a little RJ voodoo doll that they always use when he pitches against them, I don't think so. You can chalk this one up to RJ always sucking against the BJs.
