Mike Minor Records Nine Strikeouts Against Rays
4 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Mike Minor had a strong outing against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Minor pitched five innings and allowed two hits, four walks and one earned run while striking out nine. The nine strikeouts matched a season-high for him. Minor needed 96 pitches to get through five innings. He hasn't been extended past 102 pitches in a game so far this year, so it's understandable that he was pulled after five innings. The four walks he yielded were a season-high, but there's little else to complain about other than the high walk total. He's starting to come around a bit after a shaky start to the year and should be on the radar for fantasy managers in deep leagues and AL-only leagues. He'll be a two-start pitcher next week, facing the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday and the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
