Red Sox's Brian Johnson: Scuffed up Monday
Johnson allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 2.2 innings in Monday's game against St. Louis.
Analysis:
Johnson was not pleased with his effort Monday, surrendering a two-run homer and walking three batters after getting ahead 1-and-2 in the count. He was particularly focused on the inconsistent command of his fastball, which is not a good sign for a pitcher that has pedestrian stuff. The ability to place the ball in desired locations is key to Johnson's success.
