Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon was slow to read a ball hit by Jorge Cantu on Saturday night, which allowed the Marlins to score what would be the deciding run.

Florida defeated New York 2-1.

"I had a good read on the ball. I knew what the ball was doing," Damon said. "He kind of inside-outed the ball and it was going to center. I ended up missing the ball by a foot and that's totally unacceptable. It's amazing. There's been a lot of plays that I've messed up this year.

"I'm definitely a much better defender than that. It comes in bunches. For a while, I was pretty good out there, and then lately, I've been brutal."
