Los Angeles, CA (My Sportsbook) - Jason Johnson recorded his first win in more than two years with six shutout innings, as the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the San Francisco Giants, 2-0, in the middle contest of a three-game set played following a 5.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Southern California earlier Tuesday.

The scheduled start was unaffected by the earthquake centered near Chino Hills, approximately 30 miles from Dodger Stadium. LA has won four of its last five overall and remained one game behind NL West division-leader Arizona, which topped the Padres 3-0 earlier Tuesday.

Johnson (1-0) surrendered only five hits without walking a batter, while striking out three in his first start since 2006.

"It's something special," Johnson said of his long-awaited win. "I didn't have exactly what I wanted but Danny (Ardoin) called a good game and I had good defense behind me. I just wanted to give our team a chance to win."

James Loney was 2-for-4 with an RBI, stolen base and a run scored while Matt Kemp had two hits, a stolen base and a run scored. Casey Blake delivered a key double in the sixth allowing a run to score on a controversial play.

Matt Cain (6-9) was dealt a tough loss coming off a four-hit shutout of the Nationals Thursday, giving up only two runs - one earned - on eight hits without issuing a walk and fanning eight.

"Matt did his job," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said f Cain's outing. "We just couldn't get the bats going. They pitched well too."

Rich Aurilia and Randy Winn notched two hits apiece accounting for four of the team's five hits and San Francisco dropped its fourth contest in the last five.

The game remained scoreless until an eventful sixth. Kemp singled, stole second and scored on a two-out single to left from Loney.

Loney was then involved in a controversial play where he was originally thrown out at the plate trying to score on a double down the left field line from Blake. Left fielder Fred Lewis bobbled the ball briefly out of play while making the transfer from glove to throwing hand but recovered to make the relay throw that eventually beat Loney to the plate. The umpires got together and ruled that Lewis had caused the ball to leave the field of play, Loney was awarded home plate and Blake was sent to third.

Lewis, who thought the inning had ended, was charged with an error and LA took a 2-0 lead.

"The ball came off my glove and went on top of the wall," Lewis said of the play. "The umps said it was over the wall. It makes you want a replay in baseball. It was still in play in my eyes. The guy was out at the plate."

San Francisco moved a runner to second only twice in the contest before going down in order the ninth, allowing Jonathan Broxton to record his fifth save of the season.
