vrs.
Bud Norris (1-1, 3.52 ERA)
Johnson has struggled, going 0-3 with a 7.36 ERA in three games (two starts) against the Astros.
Norris faced the Marlins twice last year in consecutive starts on Aug. 12 in Miami and Aug. 18 in Houston. He's 1-1 with a 7.59 ERA in 10 2/3 innings in his career against the Marlins. Norris has allowed 19 hits, nine earned runs and struck out 10 in that span.
I will be limping over to this game after hurting my toe today at work. Please make this worth my while, Marlins.
