Josh Johnson held the Braves to just two runs on six hits in 7 2/3 innings Wednesday, but took the loss as Miami could muster only two hits in a 2-1 defeat.
Johnson walked three and tied a season-high with nine strikeouts in his longest outing of the year. Johnson has now allowed three runs or fewer in six consecutive starts, and is steadily rounding into form following his slow start. He'll bring a 4.56 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 59/22 K/BB ratio into his Monday matchup with the Red Sox in South Florida.
