- It was his third career complete game and one of only three such performances this season in which a pitcher recorded 12 or more strikeouts without issuing a walk.
- In four July starts he has logged at least seven innings and yielded just one earned run per outing while amassing 31 strikeouts.
- His season ERA dropped to 2.40 and his 134 strikeouts rank tied for 18th in the National League through July 22.
