D-Backs Johnson eyes second place on strikeout list
Jun 3, 2008 - 1:06 PM Arizona (32-26) at Milwaukee (30-28) 8:05 pm EDTMILWAUKEE (Ticker) - Randy Johnson aims to move into sole possesion of second place on the all-time strikeout list on Tuesday as the Arizona Diamondbacks continue a three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The 44-year-old Johnson struck out nine in seven innings against San Francisco on Thursday to tie Roger Clemens for second place at 4,672.
While Johnson (4-1, 3.83 ERA) did not receive a decision in a 4-3 loss, he is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA in his last three starts.
Milwaukee should prove to be an easy mark for Johnson. The Brewers have won a season-high four straight, but are a team full of free swingers. Milwaukee has struck out 420 times thus far.
However, when the Brewers connect good things happen. Prince Fielder homered for the third time in four games as Milwaukee posted a 4-3 win in Monday's opener.
Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks have lost nine of ll and will try and get untracked against Seth McLung (2-2, 4.80). McLung allowed six runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 8-1 loss to Atlanta on Thursday.
