Triston McKenzie... Cleveland's next ace?! Good series for the Guards splitting with the Astros.
Cleveland Guardians vs. Houston Astros, August 7, 2022CLEVELAND, Ohio — In his previous start against Houston, Guardians pitcher Triston McKenzie delivered one of his finest outings of the season, allowing a run on three hits in seven innings as Cleveland picked up a win back on May 23.
Emmanuel Clase pitched a scoreless ninth for his 24th save in 26 chances. His 24 saves are second in the American League behind Toronto’s Jordan Romano. He retired 18 consecutive Houston hitters before issuing a walk to pinch-hitter Kyle Tucker in the eighth. But pinch-hitter Jose Altuve grounded into a double play started by José Ramírez that brought McKenzie’s outing to an emphatic end.“Being able to keep them off balance and being able to get them out of the box quickly ,” McKenzie said.
It was McKenzie’s fourth career start of seven or more shutout innings while allowing three or fewer baserunners, the most in franchise history for a pitcher 26 years old or younger. He is 3-0 with a 0.41 ERA across 22 innings with a 0.41 WHIP in three combined starts against Houston and the Yankees, the two top clubs in the American League.
McKenzie’s effort was aided by another strong performance from Cleveland’s defense, which saw shortstop Amed Rosario rob Houston’s Jeremy Pena of a single in the third with a sliding stop and spinning throw. Owen Miller snagged a high throw from Ramírez in the seventh and applied the tag to Alex Bregman for another sensational stop.
