Astros pitcher Lance McCullers did not allow a run over five innings of work to earn his third win of season during Sunday's 13-0 win over the Mariners.
"I had to battle from the first pitch on," McCullers said, per MLB.com. "I knew that I didn't have the same stuff that I usually did, but thankfully I had good defense behind me today and [catcher] Hank [Conger] helped me battle through."
McCullers (3-1) did not surrender a hit over the five innings of work. He struck out four and walked four during the outing. His ERA now stands at 2.00.
McCullers has now earned a quality start in each of his last three starts and he is 2-1 during that time. His next expected start is scheduled for Friday at Seattle.
