Josh Johnson allowed a total of four runs on five hits over 6 1/3 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.
Johnson punched out five while walking just one in the game. Aside from a solo homer by Starlin Castro in the fourth inning, Johnson had no trouble through the first six frames. In the seventh, however, the Cubs used a total of five hits to scratch out four runs and chase Johnson from the game. As expected coming off surgery, he's been very inconsistent from start to start this season. He'll take on the Braves at home on Monday, where he'll look to improve his 5-7 record and 4.35 ERA.
