Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel tossed a complete game shutout on Saturday in Chicago's 3-0 win over the White Sox.
Keuchel was magnificent on Saturday, recording a career-high 11 strikeouts and no walks in the contest. He allowed just one baserunner to reach third in the game, but finished off the inning with two strikeouts to work out of the jam.
"I was lucky enough to have some pretty good command," Keuchel said to MLB.com. "They were hacking a little bit, but I was showing them enough first-pitch strikes they had to go up there and be cautious of every single pitch I was throwing. That's the way I like it, and it went according to plan."
It was just Keuchel's second complete game of the season after recording five in 2014. Keuchel, now 7-1, moved his ERA to 1.76 in 81 2/3 innings of work.
"The guys hasn't struggled this year, if you look at the way the overall year has gone," manager A.J. Hinch said. "He was in complete control of the game from the very beginning."
He will look to keep things rolling Thursday against the Orioles.
