Lance McCullers Jr. Punches Out 12
Lance McCullers Jr. struck out 12 batters but didn't factor into the decision in a 5-3 victory over the A's. He allowed three runs on five hits and one walk over six innings. His signature knuckle curve stood out as his most effective pitch, inducing 10 whiffs and a 45% swinging strike rate. He now has 20 strikeouts in his past 10 ⅓ innings, and is looking like the strikeout specialist that he used to be earlier in his career. He'll look to keep things rolling in his next start, which is set to be a promising matchup against the Pirates.
