Key to the Game- Support system: In two of Cole Johnson's three starts on the season, he has received one run of support from the Bees' offense. While Johnson has pitched spectacularly so far (0.47 ERA), he could benefit from receiving several runs of support to prevent him from throwing too many stressful pitches.
