As good as Santana was in his first start, Johnson was even better against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. Johnson, who had only made 15 starts over the past two seasons because of injuries, limited the Nationals to seven hits over 6 2/3 scoreless innings. He also fanned eight batters without a walk.
