Meanwhile,  Johnson   pitched 3.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off   one  hit. The dominant performance also gave  him a new career-high in  strikeouts (five). At the plate,  Waite  went 3-for-4 with two  stolen bases, one  triple,  and two  RBI, while  Johnson  went 1-for-3 with one  home run, three  RBI,  and two  runs.
