Outcome predictable as Johnson outpitches Lima

A year ago, this was a marquee matchup. This season, it was a predictable mismatch.

Randy Johnson kept winning and Jose Lima kept losing Tuesday night, with the Arizona Diamondbacks beating the Houston Astros 10-4 at Enron Field.

Johnson (13-2), who tops the NL in victories, gave up four hits in six innings. Lima (1-13), who leads the majors in losses, dropped his 13th straight decision.

''I struggled almost the whole game with my location. I was never in a groove,'' Johnson said.

At least the reigning NL Cy Young winner wound up with another victory. Lima, a 21-game winner last season, also had a tough time in the dugout -- he shouted at left fielder Moises Alou, maybe thinking he was playing too deep.
