MINNEAPOLIS – Scott Baker won for the first time in more than two months, Craig Monroe homered and the Minnesota Twins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2 on Friday night.
The Big Unit hasn’t won since May 18 and remains stuck at 288 career wins, tied with Tommy John for 24th all time. After an impressive May, Johnson is spinning his wheels in June and has lost four straight starts for the first time since dropping five in a row from June 20-July 10, 1999.
Johnson (4-5) gave up 11 hits and struck out a season-low one, but still pitched his first complete game since Aug. 24, 2006.
