SAN FRANCISCO — Randy Johnson earned his 299th victory with six impressive innings, yielding three hits and one run in the San Francisco Giants’ 6-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.

Johnson (4-4) retired the Braves’ first nine hitters and 15 of the first 16 in a performance reminiscent of the Big Unit in his inimitable prime, although the 45-year-old left-hander has less power and more precision these days.
The five-time Cy Young Award winner struck out five to run his career total to 4,843, second-most in baseball history. He didn’t walk a batter and allowed his only run on Casey Kotchman’s RBI single in the sixth, which he finished by striking out Chipper Jones for the third time.
