NL: ATLANTA (41-38) at FLORIDA (37-42) <h3>Johnson looks to log first win of season for Marlins</h3> Atlanta (41-38) at Florida (37-42) 7:05 pm EDT MIAMI (Ticker) -- Josh Johnson takes the hill in his third startof the season as the Florida Marlins host the Atlanta Braves inthe opener of a three-game set on Friday. Johnson (0-2, 14.85 ERA) was roughed up in his first two startsafter missing the first two months of the season with an elbowinjury. On Saturday, Johnson surrendered seven runs and eight hits inthree innings against Minnesota. He has allowed 15 runs in just6 2/3 innings thus far this season. The second-year starter will have to stop an Atlanta team thatoutscored Washington, 23-3, in a three-game sweep. It has been a huge turnaround for the Braves, who up until thatseries had been outscored, 27-1, in losing five straight. Chuck James (6-7, 4.29) takes the mound looking for just hissecond win in the last six starts. The lefthander lost toDetroit on Sunday by allowing four runs and five hits in fiveinnings.
