Description: Blue Jays starter Josh Johnson gave up seven hits, two walks and six earned in just 1 1/3 innings Thursday against Detroit. | Insight: It was the shortest outing of his career. Johnson has allowed 16 hits in 7 1/3 innings through two starts and is clearly no longer the dominating presence he was back in 2009, 2010 and 2011. However, remember that he started off last season by allowing 47 hits and 23 runs in his first 31 1/3 innings (6.61 ERA), but gave up 133 hits and 58 runs in 160 innings (3.26 ERA) the rest of the way. | | |

SOURCE: Ken Rosenthal, FoxSports.com | Insight: Johnson had an up-and-down season amid trade rumors in 2012, going 8-14 with a 3.81 ERA and 165 strikeouts in 191 1/3 innings.
