Jakob Junis Posts Second Straight Good Outing
6 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis may be coming around now. Seven days after holding the Rays to one run in five innings in Tampa, Junis held them to two runs in 6 1/3 innings in KC on Wednesday. Junis only struck out two this time around while allowing two walks and six hits, but it was still one of his finer outings this season. He's still a bit unpredictable, but Junis has the ability to bring stretches of dominance to the hill as he can strike out a batter an inning and draw ground balls more than half the time when everything's working right. Owners should keep an eye on him, but his next couple starts - slated to be against the Astros and Phillies - probably aren't great ones to chase.
