All signs point to Randy Johnson making his first start of 2008 for the D-backs on Monday in San Francisco. The Big Unit allowed three runs over six innings of work in his second rehab start for Triple-A Tucson on Thursday. Johnson, who is coming off his second back surgery in as many years, threw 85 pitches and hit 92 mph on the radar gun. "I would think everything's a go," D-backs manager Bob Melvin said. "Based on what I heard and the results, it was encouraging going forward."
