Keuchel (3-9) allowed two runs on five hits, struck out six and walked none over seven innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Saturday.
It was his best outing since May 28 and would have been his first victory since then too, but the Astros bullpen gave up the lead in the ninth before the offense scored the winning run in extra innings. Keuchel now has an excellent 40:4 KK/B ratio in 38.1 innings over his last six starts, yet he owns a 5.17 ERA during that stretch. His next start will be Friday against the Royals.
