The 24-year-old hurler punched out five opposing batters on the day and didn’t walk anyone. The only blemish on his afternoon came on a leadoff solo home run off the bat of Spencer Torkelson in the fourth inning. Woods Richardson got eight whiffs on 78 pitches on the day — six of them on his fastball which averaged 93.8 mph — while posting a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll look to build off of this strong start as he brings a 4.30 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and a 16/5 K/BB ratio (14 2/3 innings) into next weekend’s start against the Braves in Atlanta.

The Astros scratched out a run against Duran with a leadoff walk, a steal, a soft infield single and a sac fly. Even the walk was suspect, as both ball three and four could have been called strikes. Duran, who also gave up a run and took a loss Saturday, didn’t do much wrong in this one.

Bader greatly exceeded expectations offensively over the first two months of the season, but regression seems to have set in now; he’s hitting .171/.250/.314 with 16 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances during June. Assuming that Byron Buxton is fine, Bader is probably in line to do more sitting against righties until he heats back up.
