Johnson went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rockies. It was the second three-hit performance of the season for Johnson, who is batting .252. Johnson's usage has been on the decline of late with Juan Uribe assuming a near-everyday role at third base and Kelly Johnson seeing most of the at-bats at first base in place of the injured Freddie Freeman, but Thursday's performance may have allowed him to build up some goodwill with manager Fredi Gonzalez.
