Johnson looks to log first win of season for Marlins

Jun 29, 2007 - 1:47 PM Atlanta (41-38) at Florida (37-42) 7:05 pm EDT

MIAMI (Ticker) -- Josh Johnson takes the hill in his third start of the season as the Florida Marlins host the Atlanta Braves in the opener of a three-game set on Friday.

Johnson (0-2, 14.85 ERA) was roughed up in his first two starts after missing the first two months of the season with an elbow injury.

On Saturday, Johnson surrendered seven runs and eight hits in three innings against Minnesota. He has allowed 15 runs in just 6 2/3 innings thus far this season.

The second-year starter will have to stop an Atlanta team that outscored Washington, 23-3, in a three-game sweep.

It has been a huge turnaround for the Braves, who up until that series had been outscored, 27-1, in losing five straight.

Chuck James (6-7, 4.29) takes the mound looking for just his second win in the last six starts. The lefthander lost to Detroit on Sunday by allowing four runs and five hits in five innings.
