Tommy John surgery didn’t stop Josh Johnson from becoming one of the majors’ top pitchers. After undergoing two such procedures, Chris Capuano is just happy to be returning to the mound. Johnson and the Florida Marlins conclude a four-game series Thursday night against a Milwaukee Brewers team set to give Capuano his first start since 2007. Florida couldn’t take advantage of a strong start from Chris Volstad on Wednesday night, losing 7-4 to Milwaukee for its first loss in this series. Now the Marlins will give the ball to Johnson, who has given up one earned run over his last four starts, going 2-1. He was on the losing end of Philadelphia ace Roy Halladay’s perfect game Saturday night, surrendering an unearned run in seven innings as Florida was defeated 1-0. Johnson is 4-1 with a 1.53 ERA in seven outings at home this season and has posted a 2.35 ERA in winning his two career starts against the Brewers.

There was a time, though, when the right-hander’s career was in jeopardy. He was limited to four starts in 2007, undergoing Tommy John surgery that August. Johnson didn’t pitch again until July 2008, winning seven games in 14 starts that season. Last year, he went 15-5 with a 3.23 ERA, and he’s now on track to have an even better 2010. Certainly, Capuano would love to follow a similar path, but he appears to be facing much longer odds. Two surgeries identical to Johnson’s cost him nearly 2 1/2 years. This is Capuano’s first start since Sept. 28, 2007. The 31-year-old left-hander won 18 games in 2005, and made the NL All-Star team the following year. He started 5-0 in 2007, but lost his last 12 decisions. Capuano is 3-1 with a 2.85 ERA in six starts against the Marlins. Florida has scored 23 runs over its last three games after being held to three or fewer in each of its previous five contests. Third baseman Jorge Cantu has led the Marlins’ surge, driving in six runs over his last three games.
