Nice job from the 25 year old in his first MLB start. He went five innings, allowed one earned run on two hits, struck out four, and walked two batters. He threw 78 pitches and recorded seven ground balls and six fly balls. Painted the corner on two of those strikeouts, one a 94 MPH fastball and hen 89 MPH on the outside corner. Looked comfortable, too, didn’t he? Showed a lot of poise out there and didn’t seem to be fazed by the moment. Made the most of the opportunity.
