Jason Johnson, RH Bruce Chen, LH (1-0, 2.13) (0-1, 0-1, 4.97)Game time is 7:05 on WNUV and STOh.
Taking three of four from the Angels is nice to see, and now another actual team is in town. This three-game set with Cleveland precedes our first trip of 2006 to Yankee Stadium.
Our old pal Jason Johnson will be in the Yards again with a new cap. Johnson is 3-1 with a 3.35 ERA in six career starts against the Orioles, and for his career is a first-half pitcher, 34-44 wit ha 4.39 ERA before the All-Star break and 19-42 with a 5.48 ERA after.
Chen took a loss in his first outing despite pitching fairly well (two earned over five in a 2-1 loss to Boston) and had a no-decision last time against the Devil Rays, giong 7 2/3 and giving up five earned on four homers.
