The World Series
Yanks leave Atlanta up 2-0
By Paul Newberry
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Pick your poi
son.
Hitting? Atlanta managed just
five hits Sunday night and was
routed 7-2 by the New York Yan
kees, falling behind 2-0 in a
World Series that looks like the
Debacle of the Decade.
Defense? One night after defen
sive replacement Brian Hunter
made two errors at first base in a
4-1 loss, shortstop Ozzie Guillen
let in a run by dropping a soft lin
er that he could have caught with
his bare hands. Another run was
gift-wrapped when second base
man Keith Lockhart failed to turn
the most routine of double plays.
Pitching? Kevin Millwood,
who pitched a one-hitter in his
first postseason start, surrendered
three hits before he even got an
out Sunday night. By the third in
ning, he was gone.
Team of the ’90s? Looks like
that title is New York-bound, just
like this Series.
Atlanta, the winningest team of
the decade, is coming apart at the
seams against the Yankees, who
are willing and able to take advan
tage of every mistake. New York is
halfway home to yet another Se
ries title, blowing through Atlanta
like a sweep in the making.
The next three games in the
best-of-7 series are set for Yankee
Stadium. Two may be enough to
bring down the curtain.
The only consolation for At
lanta: They’re in virtually the
same predicament that faced the
Yankees three years ago, when
Atlanta, the defending Series
champion, outscored the AL
champs 16-1 to win the first two
games at Yankee Stadium.
After two games at Turner
Field, Atlanta has been outscored
11-3 by the current Series cham
pion, so maybe there’s reason for
hope. That’s about as good it gets
for Atlanta, which may have to be
content with being runner-up for
the fourth time in the ’90s.
Atlanta’s hitters are looking
downright silly against New
York’s wily pitchers, very much
aware that they can get just about
everyone outside of Chipper Jones
to swing at offerings beyond the
limits of the strike zone. Maybe if
Andres Galarraga and Javy Lopez
were able to play, things would be
different.
But with a revamped lineup
that included three players —
Guillen, Lockhart and Greg Myers
— making their first start of the
postseason, Atlanta had maybe
four or five hard-hit balls the en
tire game. They finally scored two
meaningless runs with two outs
in the ninth but are still batting
just .121 (7-of-58) in the Series.
Game 2 was basically over after
the top half of the first. Chuck
Knoblauch led off against Mill
wood by lining an 0-2 pitch to
center field for a single. Derek
Jeter and Paul O’Neill followed
with singles as well, the latter dri
ving in a run.
Millwood, Atlanta’s most con
sistent starter during the regular
season, had a chance to escape
when Bernie Williams hit into a
double play. But Tino Martinez
singled in another run, Ricky
Ledee walked and Scott Brosius
made it 3-0 with yet another line
drive single.
In the third, the Yankees fin
ished off Millwood, whose first
World Series appearance became
his shortest stint of the season.
Williams singled, Martinez sin
gled and Ledee doubled in a run.
Manager Bobby Cox walked
slowly to the mound to remove
Millwood, who had gone at least
five innings in every start — 33 in
a row — since lasting just 3 1-3 in
nings at Los Angeles on April 20.
Of they eight hits he surrendered,
five came with two strikes.
Then it was time for the defense
to fall apart.
Guillen, inserted for offense,
cost a run in the field. With a run
ner at third, two outs and the
score still 4-0, David Cone hit a
soft liner right at the shortstop.
Somehow, the ball slipped
through Guillen’s glove while
Cox, looking on from the dugout,
held his hands over his cap in dis
believing anguish.
About that time, some fans be
gan to slide toward the main gate
on Abernathy Boulevard. No need
to stay up late when one had to be
at work Monday morning. ^
Lockhart contributed to the de
fensive woes in the fourth. Mar
tinez hit a grounder to shortstop
that should have been an inning
ending double play, but Lockhart
hobbled the relay throw from
Guillen and made a hurried, off
target throw to first, allowing an
other run to score.
By then, some of the New York
fans in the crowd were beginning
to chant: “Sweep! Sweep!
Sweep!”
