Johnson slugged his second home run of the season during a 2-for-5 effort Thursday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson drew the start at first base against lefty Drew Smyly and plated three runs in the Marlins' 9-1 blowout. The veteran's playing time has been sparse with Justin Bour, Derek Dietrich and Martin Prado all playing well while Johnson has struggled to get going at the dish. The strong effort should buy him some more looks against left-handed pitching.
