TOP PERFORMERS
The 74th overall pick out of Dallas Baptist last season, Johnson began the year in the Angels bullpen—without ever appearing in the minors—before joining the Dust Devils in May to be stretched out as a starter. The right-hander looked plenty stretched tonight, allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out 12 in Tri-City's first nine-inning complete game since 2021 (Hector Yan vs. Spokane - 7/24/2021).
Michael Prosecky tossed four scoreless frames in an abbreviated outing while Stu Flesland III and Davis Palermo combined for three shutout frames of relief in the loss.
JERSEY WATCH: Primary (12-11), Redband (4-4), OFT (2-4), Cafecitos (2-1), King Carl (1-1), Star Wars (0-1), Road Grays (17-19), Harry Potter (0-0), Oat Milkers (0-0)
