He held Kansas City to 2 earned runs on 6 hits over 6.1 innings, while racking up 10 strikeouts. Bryan Harvey earned his 24th save in 28 chances.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Johnson, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."

The first-place Marlins have won 5 consecutive games.
