Astros starter Dallas Keuchel (2-0) did not allow a run in six innings of work Saturday to defeat the Angels.

Keuchel struck out seven and walked three in the win.

"He made pitches when he needed to," manager A.J. Hinch said to MLB.com. "He got a couple of uncharacteristic walks. You walk a fine line of expecting perfection out of him by how he goes about it and swings and misses that he gets. No one will ever complain about six zeroes in an outing from Dallas Keuchel. He had to work for it and he got to a pretty high pitch count. You're not used to seeing him over 100 pitches through six innings."

Keuchel's next start is set for Friday in Oakland.
