There hasn’t been much in the way of positive news to take away from the 24-year-old’s first 14 starts in 2018. His June 12 start, in which he threw eight innings of one-run ball, was the first time he recorded an out in the seventh inning and just the fourth start out of 14 in which he did not throw a PQS-DIS.
