Johnson keeps Mets' bats quiet to puts wraps on four-game sweep

NEW YORK -- Randy Johnson pitched a two-hitter and struck out 11 Monday as the Arizona Diamondbacks completed a four-game sweep with a 2-0 victory over the New York Mets.

Coming off a 149-pitch start last week -- the longest outing in the majors this year -- and pitching in 89-degree heat didn't slow Johnson (16-4), who struck out the first six batters -- two shy of Jim Deshaies' record to start a game.

With Los Angeles leading 5-4 in the eighth, Paul Shuey (0-1) walked Placido Polanco, gave up a single to Bobby Abreu and a two-out RBI single to Travis Lee.
