After game 2 starter Justin Chere was unable to start after warming up, the Royals looked to Chris Johnson to fill in. Considering Johnson got 5 minutes notice before starting the game, he pitched brilliantly. He gave the Royals 6 strong innings allowing 1 run (unearned) on 3 hits with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. Bryan Weber hit a 2 run double in the second inning and CJ Flannery knocked him home with a basehit 3 batters later and that was all the offense Johnson would need. Eddie Lockhart picked up his first save of the year closing the door in the 7th.
