Red Sox's Brian Johnson: Ekes out win over Jays
Johnson (1-0) gave up four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six in Tuesday's victory over Toronto.
Analysis:
Well, the strikeouts were nice, but he gave up a pair of homers and needed 97 pitches to record 15 outs, so this wasn't the most impressive of spot starts. Johnson will almost certainly head back to Triple-A soon, as he only came up to make this start because Eduardo Rodriguez is on paternity leave.
