SAN DIEGO (AP) -- After the emotional high of catching A.J. Burnett's no-hitter, Charles Johnson provided his own big moment.

Johnson connected for a pinch-hit grand slam in the seventh inning, rallying the Florida Marlins to a 10-4 win Sunday over the San Diego Padres.

The Marlins trailed 4-1 before Johnson's heroics put them in the lead, one day after Burnett threw a no-hitter.

"After the emotions of last night, you never know how the next day will turn out," said Johnson, who had never hit a grand slam. "What an unbelievable, emotional high for me."

Florida was scuffling against Kevin Jarvis, who held a 4-1 lead with two outs in the seventh. But Preston Wilson's infield single off Jarvis' leg and a single by Derrek Lee drove Jarvis from the game.

Kevin Walker walked pinch-hitter Cliff Floyd on four pitches, bringing up Johnson against Jay Witasick.

"He threw a slider up in the zone and I got the barrel on it," Johnson said. "That was unbelievable, to be able to get a hit there."

"It's a no-brainer, really," Marlins manager John Boles said about using Johnson in that situation. "He's had a great season to date."

Johnson drove a 1-2 slider from Witasick (2-2) into the left-field stands for his 10th homer of the season. It was the first pinch-hit homer of his career.

"It was a crazy game," Jarvis said. "In the seventh inning, we think we have a great chance of winning. But it wasn't the case."

Johnson added an RBI single in a five-run eighth, keyed by Cliff Floyd's bases-loaded triple.

Wilson had four hits for Florida.

"What a great two days of baseball," Wilson said. "First, you've got the no-hitter, then the great comeback today. Man, this was fun."

Brad Penny (3-0) struggled through six innings for the win. He gave up four runs on six hits, five walks and a hit batter.

An error and wild pitch by Witasick helped lead to five unearned runs in the eighth. Wilson drove in the first run with a bases-loaded single, Floyd tripled with two outs and Johnson singled.

Kevin Millar hit his first homer of the season, giving the Marlins a 1-0 lead in the first.

Bubba Trammell keyed the Padres' three-run sixth with a two-run homer, his sixth to break a 1-1 tie. Trammell also drove in San Diego's first run with a grounder.
