ATLANTA (AP) — Jeff Francoeur hit a game-ending, two-run homer off Chad Qualls in the ninth inning, and the Atlanta Braves overcame a sparkling 10-strikeout performance by Randy Johnson to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 Saturday.

Johnson reached double-digits in strikeouts for the first time since May 20 last year against Pittsburgh and the 210th time overall, five behind Nolan Ryan’s record for games with 10 or more strikeouts. The Big Unit allowed one run, five hits and no walks in six innings.

With 4,663 strikeouts, Johnson needs nine to tie Roger Clemens for second place behind Ryan (5,714).

Atlanta has won seven of its last eight games while the Diamondbacks have lost five of six.

Braves starter Jorge Campillo, coming off his first big league win, allowed four hits in four scoreless innings. He left after 59 pitches because of a blister on his right middle finger

With the score 1-1 in the ninth, Chipper Jones walked against Doug Slaten (0-1) leading off, Mark Teixeira grounded out and Qualls relieved. Francoeur homered on his second pitch.

Blaine Boyer (1-3), Atlanta’s fourth pitcher, threw 1 2-3 hitless innings to complete a three-hitter.

Yunel Escobar put the Braves ahead in the third following Gregor Blanco’s leadoff triple.

Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin called back Johnson from the on-deck circle in the seventh with a runner on second and two outs, and pinch-hitter Augie Ojeda’s single off Jeff Bennett tied the score.

Bennett had escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth when Conor Jackson hit a grounder to shortstop that Escobar turned into an inning-ending double play. Fielding the ball with his right hand, Escobar stepped on second and threw to Teixeira on a bounce.
