McKenzie (5-6) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over six innings in a 3-1 victory. He struck out seven.
That's now seven straight quality starts for McKenzie since the beginning of August. The young right-hander has a 1.76 ERA, 0.54 WHIP and 48:5 K:BB through 46 innings over that stretch, a remarkable turnaround considering he sported a 6.11 ERA and 1.44 WHIP at the end of July, and he is positioning himself for a key role in Cleveland's 2022 rotation.
