Jim Johnson got two outs in the ninth for a save Friday against the Twins.
Troy Patton started the ninth in a 4-0 game, but he was pulled after giving up a two-run homer to Josh Willingham, creating the save chance. Johnson, who wasn’t generally sharp in spring training after missing time with back issues, managed to retire two of the four hitters he faced to end it. He’ll continue to get the save chances in Baltimore.
