Johnson’s Power Picks Up Marlins
Charles Johnson hit two home runs and the Marlins’ relievers held the lead for their first win of the season as Florida beat the Montreal Expos, 5-2, Thursday night at Miami.
“It was great to see the bullpen come in and close the book,” Johnson said. “Close ballgames drain you, especially if you come out of them with a loss.”
Johnson hit solo homers in the second and the sixth before the Marlins broke a 2-2 tie with a three-run eighth inning.
Colorado 4, San Diego 0--Denny Neagle and three relievers combined on a six-hitter at San Diego as the Rockies shut out the Padres for the second straight game.
Neagle (2-0) gave up three hits in six innings, struck out five and walked three for his 100th NL win. He has 107 overall.
Neagle also doubled and scored a run as the Rockies won their fifth in a row.
