Kikuchi was brilliant on Saturday, holding the Pirates lineup scoreless over six frames. He scattered five hits and issued three walks while collecting six strikeouts. The 35-year-old left-hander will look to keep it going when he takes a 4.96 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and a 49/19 K/BB ratio across 49 innings into a road tilt against the Nationals on Friday.
