Triston McKenzie is unstoppable
When Triston McKenzie is in full swing, nothing can stop him, and that was the case against the Tigers. Even though Triston doesn't have an overpowering heater since he's tall, his four-seamer works in his favor. Once everything is in order this player becomes unstoppable.
At the moment when everything is going as Triston wants, he can sneak up on the attackers without them noticing him at all. After a 4-0 win against the Tigers, Triston had no choice but to run through eight frames. As if a stat of 12 strikeouts on a career-high 109 pitches wasn't enough to explain the player's dominance, the Guardians received verbal assurance that their starter had work to do when Austin Hedges stood at second base and was approached by Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop.
The numbers from the match show that Triston's way of working is more than good. His fastball topped out at 95.6 mph and averaged 1.2 mph longer than it had all season. His curveball caused two more whiffs. The way Triston pitched in July pleasantly surprised many. Now he extended his innings streak to 21 frames, which is also the longest streak in one season.
