Johnson looks to continue domination of Royals

Jun 14, 2008 - 1:48 PM Kansas City (26-42) at Arizona (37-31) 8:10 pm EDT

PHOENIX (Ticker) -- Randy Johnson hasn't received much run support lately, but that shouldn't matter much on Saturday.

Johnson takes the mound for the Arizona Diamondbacks when they continue a three-game interleague series against the Kansas City Royals.

The Diamondbacks have scored just eight runs over Johnson's last four starts, as the 44-year-old lefthander (4-3, 4.10 ERA) has posted an 0-2 record, surrendering only 10 runs in 25 innings over that span.

However, Johnson won't need much support on Saturday if he can continue his domination of the Royals. He owns a 15-7 record and 2.92 ERA in 28 games - 27 starts - against Kansas City in his career and has posted a 0.90 ERA en route to three straight wins vs. the Royals.

Johnson follows an outstanding performance by starter Doug Davis, who pitched seven scoreless innings but did not factor in the decision during Friday's 1-0 series-opening victory in 10 innings.

Luke Hochevar (3-5, 4.91) tries to help the Royals avoid their 15th loss in their last 17 road games when he toes the rubber on Saturday.
