You can call him Mr. Johnson...



Bookemdano's Diamondbacks Report: You can call him Mr. Johnson.

The Diamondbacks' newly-acquired second baseman Kelly Johnson hit two homeruns yesterday as Arizona defeated San Diego, 5-3, and won its season-opening series.

The Diamondbacks will take a 2-1 record into a matchup Friday at Chase Field with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates (2-0) will go for a sweep of their series with the L.A. Dodgers today in Pittsburgh. Johnson collected three RBI yesterday, while teammates Chris Young and Justin Upton hit solo shots.

Ian Kennedy hurled five innings and struck out eight batters, but left the game after throwing 94 pitches. Boyer got the win in relief and Qualls recorded his first save.

Not a bad series' opener for the D'backs.
