Astros ace Dallas Keuchel was very ace-like in his start against the Mariners on Monday. The left-hander allowed one run on six hits over seven solid innings. He walked one and struck out eight, en route to the 8-3 victory.
Keuchel (16-6, 2.24 ERA) allowed a solo home run to Mark Trumbo in the second inning for the only damage against him. Otherwise, Keuchel as flat-out dominant against the Mariners.
The Cy Young Award candidate was absolutely brilliant in August. In six starts, he went 4-1 with a 1.95 ERA and a 41:8 K:BB ratio.
