NL roundup: Sheets sends Cards to fifth loss in six games
Johnson (16-14) allowed six runs -- only one earned -- and 10 hits in eight innings. He struck out eight and walked none to cap a strong season made more impressive by the struggles of the Diamondbacks, who have lost 111 games.
He threw 123 pitches, 91 for strikes.
It was the first time in 11 starts that Arizona scored more than three runs for Johnson, the major league strikeouts leader with 290.
Expos 6, Mets 3
NEW YORK -- Brad Wilkerson hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the ninth inning Saturday night, lifting Montreal to a victory over the New York Mets in the Expos' next-to-last game before moving to Washington.
Wilkerson, who also had two doubles, connected against reliever Braden Looper (2-5) after an error by Kaz Matsui -- making his second start at second base -- and a walk to pinch-hitter Ryan Church.
Juan Rivera and Valentino Pascucci also homered for the Expos, who have won the first two games of the series against the Mets. The team is relocating following the season after 36 years in Montreal.
