Josh Johnson held the Indians to one run on five hits in seven innings of work on Sunday, improving to 2-3 in Miami’s 5-3 road victory.
Johnson struck out four and walked two in his third straight seven-inning quality start. After watching his ERA bottom out at 6.61 on May 4, Johnson is now the owner of a 4.82 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 42/17 K/BB ratio through 52 1/3 innings. Not the kind of numbers we’ve come to expect from Miami’s ace, but he’s clearly back on the right track. He has an excellent matchup lined up for Friday, where he’ll take on the Giants at home.
