The Red Sox lost, but that's not terribly important these days. More important: Brian Johnson had a rough debut, but showed why he has a decent shot to help the Red Sox in 2016 and beyond.
And so the second-half losing streak hits five.
I come to you with excuses for Brian Johnson, because frankly, he needs them. The line does not look good. Four runs in four innings (and an out) on four walks and three hits. It's ugly, and good for an ERA just under 9.00. Not how Johnson would have wanted to start his major league career, I'm certain.
