Astros starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel struck out five in his final outing of the spring on Wednesday against the Tigers. The left-hander permitted one run on seven hits and one walk over 5 2/3 innings of work in a 3-2 victory.
"There were a few things I was pretty pleased with," Keuchel said, per the Houston Chronicle. "I wasn't really too happy with the command first of all. Fastball command was kind of spotty, but I really found the slider as an out pitch.
"That's the one thing that I had been lacking all of spring training. That was nice to see the last start."
Keuchel finished the spring with a 1.80 ERA over 15 innings. He's slated to start on Opening Day against Cleveland.
