Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel allowed one run on three hits in eight innings of work in Houston's 7-2 win over the Padres Wednesday.
Keuchel surrendered just one run in the first inning when Matt Kemp doubled to deep center field to drive in Wil Myers, two of the three hits he gave up in the outing. Keuchel settled in after that, recording four strikeouts on 115 pitches in his appearance.
"I just try to continue to make pitches," Keuchel said. "The more pitches you make in the course of a game, the better off you're going to be most of the time, and now I just try to follow that groove.
"We have a lot of potential, and it's nice to see the guys in the lineup just roll it over," Keuchel said. "With that being said, some of the guys haven't even hit their peaks, so I think we have still have room to grow, and it's just fun to be a part of right now, especially with the way some of those guys are running the bases out there and setting us up for some runs."
Keuchel, now 3-0, boasts a minuscule 0.73 ERA in 37 innings of work. The lefty will look to keep rolling Monday against the Rangers.
