The Mariners could thank a fan in the first row of the box seats near their dugout for letting them take a 4-2 lead in the fourth.
The fan caught a foul ball in his cap in front of third baseman Kevin Youkilis to allow Ryan Langerhans to stay alive at the plate. He doubled on the next pitch while hundreds of other fans began chanting "It's all your fault!" Chris Woodward flied to center for what should have been the final out of the inning.
Johnson then slammed his second double of the game, and light-hitting Ronny Cedeno (.131) lofted a three-run homer next to the flagpole in shallow center field as the chants grew louder.
