Hill (1-1) allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out 10 over six innings, and earned the win Saturday at the Mariners.
After struggling in a surprise start on opening day, Hill registered a dominant performance as he shut down the Mariners' offense. In this outing, he looked like the same pitcher who closed out the 2015 season with four excellent starts for the Red Sox. This performance certainly provides hope for an encore performance of last year for those who drafted him. He'll make his next start Friday against the Royals.
