That wasn't enough, though, for the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks against resurgent San Francisco. Arizona's bullpen blew a late lead and Randy Winn's ninth-inning home run gave the Giants a 4-3 victory Thursday night that completed a three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks. "We got some breaks there in the eighth, but you take it," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It's a great series for us, a great way to finish a good road trip." Johnson fanned nine to tie Roger Clemens for second in career strikeouts, but shrugged off the accomplishment. He noted he moved into second last year, then was injured and fell back to third with Clemens still pitching. "It's kind of a moot point," Johnson said. "To win a ball game is the most important thing. To go out there and pitch a good ball game, and if we would have won, that would have been the big thing because we need a win right now." Winn's second solo home run of the night allowed the Giants to finish their trip 6-3 and handed the Diamondbacks their season-worst fourth consecutive loss. He said he caught a sinking fastball from Qualls that didn't sink enough. CBS Sportsline.com 5/30/08
