Johnson’s gem helps Marlins snap 5-game slide

Johnson (6-7) allowed just one hit and fanned nine to collect the win before
leaving the game for precautionary reasons due to irritation on his right
middle finger.

Mike Dunn, Edward Mujica and Randy Choate navigated through the seventh and
the eighth and Steve Cishek allowed a run in the ninth, but closed it out to
record his third save of the season.

Carlos Lee ripped an RBI single and Emilio Bonifacio cracked a solo home run
in the victory for the Marlins, who were active in the trade market prior to
the game.

Hours before Monday’s first pitch, the Marlins acquired top pitching prospect
Jacob Turner from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for second baseman Omar
Infante and pitcher Anibal Sanchez.
