id. Johnson had gone 13 straight starts without allowing more than two earned runs, a streak dating back to May 8 when he surrendered three runs to the Washington Nationals. The only streak longer was Mike Scott's amazing 14-game run with the Houston Astros in 1986. "When you allow only three runs and you call that an off day it is amazing," Marlins interim manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "We should have scored for him. He kept us in the game." Posey, meanwhile, is batting .450 with 23 RBI during

(Sports Network) - The Houston Astros have yet to lose a series to the Chicago Cubs this year.

support in a pair of 1-0 setbacks has the 23-year-old still in search of his first major league win.

The left-handed Wood has pitched to a 2.02 earned run average over his first four MLB starts, but only has a 0-1 mark to show for it due to some bad luck. Wood carried a perfect

Hoping for that kind of support tonight will be left-hander Paul Maholm, who didn't need any runs the last time he pitched. Maholm tossed a three-hit shutout to beat the Houston Astros on Sunday to run his record to 6-7 on the year, while lowering his ERA to 4.03. Maholm, though, is 0-2 in three starts against the Padres with a 3.05 ERA. San Diego is 8-3 in its last 11 trips to Pittsburgh.
