BOSTON -- It’s hard to imagine Pawtucket left-hander Brian Johnson making a stronger case for being promoted to the big leagues than the one he made Wednesday night in McCoy Stadium.
With manager John Farrell saying the club had yet to decide whether Joe Kelly would remain in the rotation and GM Ben Cherington in Pawtucket Wednesday night, Johnson took the mound and allowed just one hit and one unearned run in 6 2/3 innings, his own error on a comebacker leading to that run.
