Keuchel (14-5) picked up the win Tuesday against the Rangers. He allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings.
The Astros' offense gifted Keuchel with a four-run lead as he entered the opening frame and the former Cy Young took it from there. The 29-year-old has now allowed only four earned runs over his past three starts (18 innings) and has lowered his ERA to a sparkling 2.90. Keuchel's eight punchouts also marked his highest strikeout total since late May. It was a strong performance in what was likely the ace's final start of the regular season.
