Hope Is Star Sports Johnson Slams Two Homers In Phillies Win
Deron Johnson, back with the Phillies after a troubled 1968 season, slugged two-run homers and a run-scoring double in a 5-2 exhibition win over the Dodgers. He had driven in 130 for Cincinnati in 1965 and 33 for Atlanta last year, and has homered in three straight games. The report notes other spring results including Lonborg’s shoulder strain for Boston and Detroit edging St. Louis, with multiple teams chasing early spring form.
