Bullpen falters as Unit has to wait again for 295

Too bad for Randy Johnson. He pitched his @$*! off tonight, and unfortunately could not come out of it with a W. Seven full innings and struck out a season high 13, and surrendered only three runs (only one earned) on five hits. Like I said, these Marlins are a pesky group that seem to always play well against the D-backs.

With Arizona trailing 3-2 when Johnson came out of the game in the seventh, they promptly came back in the bottom half and added two runs on a Stephen Drew single and a Chris Young double. It really looked like at that point that 295 was in the cards for the Unit. But, Jon Rauch brought his gas can to the mound in the eighth, as he fooled absolutely nobody out there. He quickly gave up two runs and that was the ballgame.

Tough night for big Adam Dunn....he wore the collar with three punchouts.

Dodgers lose big to the Phillies....so no lost ground in the West...two games and holding.
