Randy Johnson isn't in the Dodgers' rear-view mirror after all. Once more, he's blocking the road.
It might surprise you to learn that in 20 career starts against the Dodgers, Johnson has emerged with a 7-5 record, despite a 2.79 ERA and 160 strikeouts in 145 innings. The current Dodger roster has a combined lifetime OPS of .591 against Johnson, with Shawn Green leading the way at .870.
Among National League starting pitchers, Johnson ranks fourth in ERA since the All-Star break at 2.35 - but in that span he has two victories in nine starts. For his part, Dodger starter Jeff Weaver is seventh in the league in ERA since the All-Star Game, at 2.77.
Weaver and Johnson hooked up July 15 - remember that game? Johnson left with a 3-0 lead after seven innings. Moments later, Shawn Green hit a grand slam off Randy Choate to give the Dodgers a 4-3 victory.
