Meyer (2-1) held the Tigers to one run on three hits over 6.1 innings Sunday. He walked two and struck out seven en route to his second win of the season.
This was easily the 27-year-old's best start of the season after he struggled through his first three. Meyer credited his success Sunday to his ability to control his overpowering fastball (61 strikes to 35 balls), something he hasn't been able to do throughout his young career. Given his past struggles, it is too early to recommend the 2011 first-round draft pick as a pitcher to rely on after just one good start, but he's worth monitoring over his next couple of outings just in case something "clicked" Sunday.
