Josh Johnson is looking for his first big-league victory since Sept. 2, 2006, and he might have an ideal opponent Wednesday in the Mets.
Johnson has not allowed a run against the Mets in three career starts, spanning 17 innings. He is 2-0 and the Mets are hitting .125 off him. The Marlins are 3-0 in Johnson's three starts this year since he came back from Tommy John surgery.
"We got J.J. on the mound (on Wednesday). We'll take our chances with that," left-hander Scott Olsen said.
Following Johnson will be another formerly injured starter. Right-hander Anibal Sanchez will pitch Thursday against Colorado, his first start since last season. He is coming back from shoulder surgery.
METS 4, MARLINS 1: Scott Olsen (6-6) had two bad innings and allowed just two runs, which was enough for the Mets with Oliver Perez. The Marlins got just six hits. Renyel Pinto gave up a two-run home run to Carlos Delgado in the eighth.
