McCullers (1-0) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Seattle.
McCullers kept Seattle hitters off balance with his curveball, striking out five of the first 10 batters he faced and while inducing 12 groundball outs to none in the air. Three of the five hits allowed were infield singles. This was a very impressive outing for the 23-year-old, who had mixed results during spring training. McCullers will next take the mound Sunday against the Royals.
