Chris Johnson continued to swing a hot bat in Thursday's loss to the Pirates, going 2-for-3 with a homer and two RBI. Johnson launched a solo shot off A.J. Burnett in the eighth inning to get the Astros on the board. He would later add an RBI single in the ninth to pull them within 5-3, but that's as close as they would come. Over his last seven games, Johnson is hitting .444 (12-for-27) with a homer and five RBI. He makes for an interesting option as a corner infielder in deeper mixed leagues until he cools off.
