ATLANTA -- If Randy Johnson's last outing against Atlanta is any indication, the Big Unit won't be doing much tinkering when he faces the Braves on Sunday in Game 5 of the NL Championship Series.

Johnson is coming off a career-best postseason performance, a three-hitter in which he struck out 11 in a 2-0 win. He also ended a seven-game losing streak in the playoffs.

Does the 6-foot-10 left-hander need to make any adjustments in facing a team for the second time in less than a week?

"Well, if I knew I was going to pitch like I did in Arizona, I wouldn't make any," Johnson said Saturday night before Game 4 in the best-of-seven series.

"I probably won't make any until they've made some," he said. "But you can go out there -- I could throw the exact same pitches that I did the first night, and if I don't execute them and hit the locations that I need to hit, then that might be the difference in the ballgame."

Johnson will be opposed by Atlanta's Tom Glavine, the Game 2 winner.

The matchup between two of the game's most dominant pitchers doesn't faze Glavine, a two-time NL Cy Young winner.

"It's probably extra incentive because of the situation we're going to be in," he said. "It's going to be a big game one way or another."

Glavine, who allowed six hits and one run in seven innings in Atlanta's 8-1 Game 2 win, will be going on three days' rest.

"It's no big deal," said Braves manager Bobby Cox, who has decided so far to go with the three-man rotation of Greg Maddux, Glavine and John Burkett, leaving out No. 4 starter Kevin Millwood.

Cox said he had given some thought to using Millwood in Game 5.

He said Millwood still could be used later in the series as a starter or out of the bullpen. The right-hander pitched a scoreless inning of relief in Friday night's 5-1 loss.

Millwood, who was left off the Division Series roster when Cox decided to go with 10 pitchers, said he was not disappointed with the decision. Millwood (7-7) spent 2½ months on the disabled list with a sore right shoulder earlier in the season.

"We've got three pitchers who pitched great all year," he said. "It's hard not to use those guys. There's really not a whole lot to be disappointed about."
