When the public-address announcer introduced Randy Johnson as he entered the stadium in his Giants jersey in Saturday's Giants-Dodgers game in the sixth inning, the audience in the Dodger Stadium applauded respectfully. Having made his first appearance since his left shoulder was injured on July 5, Johnson yielded to Dodgers' Rafael Furcal and Andre Ethier. Johnson threw just 14 pitches, but Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that he had agreed on a light workload upon his return.
The Giants hoped that Johnson could intensify the bullpen during the season's final weeks. Johnson, threw his fastball in the high 80mph range, which was closed to the velocity he displayed before his injury.
