Johnson led off the seventh with a double and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Brandon Jackson. With two outs, reliever Kevin McClain threw a breaking ball wide of the plate that skipped to the backstop and allowed Johnson to score.
Surf starter Maximo Nunez (1-1) tossed a stellar game, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out four and walking three to pick up his first win of the season.
