Keuchel (2-1) pitched eight scoreless innings and allowed only five hits in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Tigers. He walked a batter and struck out four.
The 28-year-old southpaw was highly effective against one of the most dangerous lineups in the league, inducing double-digit ground balls (13) for the second straight start. Keuchel was sharp throughout, throwing 72 of his 108 pitches for strikes. Coming off a breakout 20-win season in 2015, Keuchel has generated a 2.18 ERA over 20.2 innings to date in 2016.
