Triston McKenzie threw seven innings as the Cleveland Guardians topped the Houston Astros.
Sticks has been looking for consistency through the first month of the season as he searched for his fastball command, which he finally found on Wednesday night. The Guardians also needed a deep start from him in order to give the bullpen a rest which has been overworked the last four games due to their extra-inning contests.
Both groups got just that as McKenzie pitched seven innings, struck out six batters, issued one walk, and gave up two runs as they took down the Houston Astros, 3-2..“I think that’s what we’ve been trying to get through the first four starts and I think it finally showed tonight. So, being able to go out there and go seven strong, regardless of giving up a couple of runs, giving the team a chance to win was huge for me.
