Atlanta slump goes on The Associated Press ATLANTA — The Florida Marlins have become used to Josh Johnson's strong pitching. On Tuesday night they also benefitted from his offense.
Johnson pitched six strong innings and had an RBI double in the Marlins' 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. With Florida leading 2-0, Johnson doubled off the left-field scoreboard to drive in Alfredo Amezaga and key a two-run fifth inning. Earlier, Miguel Olivo's sacrifice fly scored Cody Ross, who reached on a leadoff single and advanced to third on Amezaga's one-out single. “I guess I got lucky on that one,” Johnson said of his run-producing hit. “I was just trying to make contact and I wound up getting a real good swing.” Johnson (5-4) allowed one run and seven hits. He struck out seven and walked two. Andruw Jones, Brian McCann and Jeff Francoeur hit consecutive singles to start the sixth and cut Florida's lead to 3-1. Francoeur's hit bounced off the wall in left, barely missing a home run. Ross retrieved the ball to limit Francoeur to a single.
