Overview

  • He opened his career by tossing five hitless innings against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 12 before leaving his debut due to leg cramping.
  • In his second start at Target Field on June 21, he delivered six perfect innings before issuing a walk to Byron Buxton and yielding a two-run home run to Matt Wallner in the seventh.
  • His four-seam fastball peaked at 102.1 mph, and he supplemented it with curveballs, sliders, and changeups to keep batters off balance.
  • With two wins and just one hit allowed over 11 innings, he is the only major-league pitcher since 1900 to have more wins than hits allowed after two starts.
  • The Brewers’ offense exploded for 17 runs, highlighted by Christian Yelich’s career-best eight RBIs in the victory.
